Lin Family Historical Residence Leisure Farm Introduction
The most eye-catching feature of the Hundred-Year-Old Ancient Residence, which embodies a blend of historical charm and contemporary sentiment, is the traditional Southern Fujian-style Sanheyuan (three-section compound) that has over a century of history. Entering the courtyard reveals a layout that tells stories of rural life. The red brick archways, wine jar pathways, and swaying lotus fields create a simple atmosphere reminiscent of the early Republic of China era. The descendants of the Lin family have lovingly preserved their ancestral home, transforming it into a local cultural museum that introduces historical artifacts and agricultural wisdom through guided tours, combining education with entertainment, making it a memorable experience for visitors. During leisurely afternoons, the area includes a rest zone with pavilions and ponds, where water lilies dance and ducks frolic, providing a perfect setting to enjoy afternoon tea and snacks or indulge in lotus seed shaved ice and strawberry ice cream while admiring the natural scenery, embodying a slow-paced lifestyle that urban dwellers dream of. The farm also sells various lotus-related products, such as lotus root powder and lotus herbal tea, ideal for gifts or personal use. The Lin Family Ancient Residence Leisure Farm is not only a scenic spot but also an excellent venue for family outings and cultural exploration. The park offers various interactive experiences, including kiln firing, barbecuing, and hands-on activities like peeling lotus seeds, harvesting lotus roots, making candied hawthorn, DIY lotus or strawberry ice cream, and DIY sweet potato balls, all of which are both fun and educational. In autumn, visitors can pick sweet cantaloupes, while winter brings the chance to experience a strawberry paradise, with surprises in every season. Additionally, there are opportunities to book traditional "Zhua Zhou" rituals and Chinese weddings, allowing traditional culture to flourish in modern journeys. This place combines nature, history, and human warmth, making it a hidden gem for families, cultural enthusiasts, and travelers seeking to return to simplicity, where everyone can find their own rhythm and inspiration. Before leaving, consider taking home some fresh lotus seeds, lotus root powder, or fragrant lotus tea to extend the delightful memories of this rural journey into every fragrant moment of your life.
