Mountain Area

     Checheng Leisure Farm is divided into two areas. Right after we get off from train, we’ll see Wood and Train Museum. And if we drive up to the mountain, there will be an orchid green house. If you are a foreigner who does not speak Mandarin as well, you might not worry. Because there will be a tour guide who will guide us and explain all the things here in English. ^^ We just need to go to Information Center, and then ask them to guide us around this place. Then, here we go……!
