Chinjing Hill

Chinjing hill is mainly a farm place where you’ll find fresh produce such as fruits and vegies, and sheeps. Yes, there’re many sheeps in this hilly place.

The first thing to check out in the morning was this place to catch what the local call, sheep show. Basically, there’s live performance where they’ll put up a show on how they control a flock of sheeps, and how they shred the sheep. Pretty interesting I would say. I didn’t have the opportunity to catch this sort of show while I was living in Australia. This would be a good chance to make up for it.

To my surprise, the host, who’s the cowboy who show us how things get done, is actually a Kiwi himself. Hah! An imported cowboy! Surprisingly, he could speak mandarin very well. That should put many chinese who can’t speak mandarin to shame.

After that, it’s time to get down the chilly hill to check and try out some local produced rice wine, at Puli town. Apparently, this is the main producer of rice wine in Taiwan. Other than rice wine, there’re wine related delicacies, such as wine cake, wine cookies, wine candies, and many more.

Of course, there’re other things to see at Puli:

The paper factory

  

The famous chocolate factory

And the freaking big Buddhist temple

Was being told that the architect pf the buddhist temple is the same guy that designed the Taipei 101 tower.

This day also mark my worst nightmare of my overseas trip experience – diarrhoea! Settle down to spend my night at Taichung, but didn’t had the mood to walk around Taichung city, as my body was just too tired to walk. Bummer…..
