Travel Center / Comprehensive Report

Most scenic restaurants emphasize breathtaking landscapes, but when facing so many competitors,“Green Earth Scenic Café”manages to stand out because of its extraordinarily unique animal companions. Dining here, you’ll often see alpacas wandering around you, their silly and cute appearances melting hearts – it’s not an exaggeration to call it Taiwan’s version of Animal Farm.

With a sizable space, “Green Earth” combines two major advantages: adorable animals and expansive scenery. Not only can you enjoy delicious meals with the alpacas by your side, but when you step into the open-air outdoor area, the higher elevation offers panoramic views of the rolling mountains and the Dajia River. This rare opportunity to fulfill both desires frequently attracts visitors from all over.

▲ The super-popular “Mao Mao” keeps guests company in the dining area as they enjoy their meals.

Among the many alpacas, the most beloved is undoubtedly “Mao Mao.” Since it’s the one mostly seen inside the café, the staff has even dressed it up carefully – with scarves, flower crowns, and more. The floor of the dining area is also laid with blankets where Mao Mao freely roams, sometimes sitting on the blankets quietly beside guests, serving as both a mascot and a little waiter.

▲ A large number of netizens can’t resist Mao Mao’s charm and flock to take photos with it, and even children can’t help but hug it.

With a naturally gentle temperament, “Mao Mao” has a silly expression paired with watery eyes that are highly amusing, making it a hit with both kids and adults. Many rush to take selfies with it, and Mao Mao is always cooperative, even smiling back, leading netizens to say it’s just too healing – they wish they could take it home.

▲ Not just indoors, there are even more different alpacas outside, and visitors can try feeding them carrots.

Every time you dine here, the table comes with a cup filled with carrot sticks. When you head outdoors, you can feed the alpacas either in their enclosures or those leisurely strolling about. If you’d like to feed them again, you can refill the cup for 20 NT per time.

The sight of a group of brown, black, and white alpacas might make you think “Green Earth” isn’t a scenic café at all, but rather a small zoo. Through fun and interactive experiences, not only do people form closer bonds with the animals, but it also adds to the café’s appeal.

▲ Sweet pancakes make foodies’ mouths water.

For food, the café takes inspiration from global flavors. Whether it’s Chinese comfort-food hot pot, hearty Western pasta, or steak mains, the menu has it all. Desserts are also diverse – pancakes topped with whipped cream and syrup, or chocolate sauce paired with a variety of fresh fruits – they’re irresistible to anyone with a sweet tooth.

▲ The silly-looking alpacas hang around nearby, getting animal-loving netizens super excited.

Green Earth breaks the conventional fence setup, allowing you to get up close with these ultra-cute alpacas. Their fluffy appearance is simply endearing, but visitors are reminded not to feed them anything other than designated food or attempt to ride them, in order to avoid harming the animals. Love them if you adore them – that’s the basic rule.
