Lotus Park Recreational Farm Introduction
Lotus flowers, clear yellow sweet gum trees, and delicate duckweed surrounded by lush greenery make your heart blossom! The Lotus Garden Leisure Farm is located in the Guanyin District, known for its lotus flowers. Covering an area of 2 hectares, the farm features a large lotus pond, a straw museum, and the Five Elements Bagua Maze, among other attractions, along with DIY activities for a whole day of joy and fun! Upon entering the quaint farm, you will find the dining area. Before admiring the beauty of the lotus flowers, why not start with a complete lotus meal? Refresh with the chilled lotus seed tofu pudding, generously portioned lotus seed shaved ice, sweet and sour refreshing roselle stinky tofu, and the fragrant bamboo tube rice with lotus seeds. After waking up your taste buds, take a stroll by the lotus pond; whether in bud or full bloom, the beauty of the lotus flowers will make you want to snap some photos! The farm grows various species including Great Sacred Lotus, water lilies, peony lotus, and Thai lotus. Additionally, don’t miss the "Giant Water Lily Experience," where you can stand on the lotus leaf, strike a pose, and turn into Thumbelina or a martial arts master—pure fun! The straw museum on the farm showcases nearly a hundred works crafted by the owner’s father, including straw zodiac animals and farming tools. For those who enjoy handcrafts, you can try your hand at making straw calligraphy brushes, straw swords, braided straw ropes, straw sandals, and scarecrows in DIY workshops. Moreover, food lovers can also enjoy cooking their own lotus leaf pounded tea, lotus leaf mochi, and lotus leaf glutinous rice balls—fun, delicious, and uniquely intriguing! If you want to relive the flavors of a traditional rural setting, participating in the village's "Tang-Kiln" experience is a must. Each step, from firing the kiln to steaming, builds anticipation for the delicious food that awaits after the kiln is opened! The aroma of the kiln-fired food is particularly enticing and incredibly satisfying.
