Lin Family Historical Residence Leisure Farm Introduction
The most eye-catching feature of the century-old cultural park is the over a hundred-year-old Min Nan-style three-section courtyard house. The layout, with four protective dragons, tells the stories of rural life. The red brick archway, wine jar pathway, and swaying sea of lotuses create a simple atmosphere reminiscent of the early Republic of China era. The descendants of the Lin family have diligently preserved the ancestral house and transformed it into a local cultural museum, offering guided tours to introduce historical artifacts and farming wisdom, making it both educational and enjoyable, leaving visitors lingering. During leisurely afternoons, the Lotus Aroma Dining Area has pavilions and ponds where water lilies dance and ducks frolic. Visitors can sit down to enjoy afternoon tea and snacks or savor lotus seed shaved ice and strawberry ice cream while taking in the natural scenery—truly a slow-paced moment that urban dwellers dream of. The farm also sells various lotus-related products, such as lotus root powder and lotus herbal tea, suitable for gifts or personal use. Visiting as a family, one can deeply experience endless fun at the Lin Family Ancestral House Leisure Farm, which is not only a scenic spot but also an excellent venue for family travel and cultural exploration. The park offers experiences that can be reserved, including furnace baking, barbecuing, and various interactive activities such as peeling lotus seeds, digging lotus roots, making candied hawthorn, DIY lotus or strawberry ice cream, and DIY sweet potato balls—both fun and educational. In autumn, visitors can pick sweet cantaloupes, and in winter, they can experience the strawberry paradise, with surprises in every season. Moreover, there are also rituals for the first birthday (抓週) and traditional Chinese weddings that can be reserved, allowing traditional culture to be lively and continue in modern journeys. This place combines nature, history, and a sense of humanity, making it a secret spot where families can enjoy outings, literary young people can wander, and travelers seeking a return to simplicity can find their own rhythm and emotions. Before leaving, it’s a good idea to take home some fresh lotus seeds, lotus root powder, or fragrant lotus tea, allowing the beautiful memories of this rural trip to linger in the aroma of everyday life.
