Qingshan Herb Education Farm Introduction
The Herb Garden is located at the top of the Shenkeng Aru-Yang Industrial Road, bordering the Muzha Maokong area at an altitude of about 480 meters, providing a panoramic view of the Aru River Valley and the distant Shiding and Xizhi. Nearby are natural trails such as Bijia Mountain, Erge Mountain, and Monkey Mountain, allowing visitors to choose trails based on their available time and enjoy a leisurely day. Established in 1974, the farm initially focused on cultivating Wenshan Baozhong tea and citrus fruits as economic crops. Now, under the management of Miss Gao, the second-generation owner, it has transformed into a themed farm specializing in the cultivation of herb plants in line with the promotion of leisure agriculture. The farm covers approximately 800 ping and not only cultivates the endangered Scarlet Lily but also grows various herbs including lavender, sage, rosemary, European mint, stevia, lemongrass, calendula, perilla, and native Taiwanese cinnamon. Additionally, it has developed a range of herb-based beverages, such as freshly brewed herbal tea, herbal coffee, herbal ice products, herbal cookies, and herbal meal sets for visitors to savor. The owner appreciates the natural ecological environment and has served as a frog surveyor, and given the rich ecological environment of the farm, it frequently accommodates group reservations for ecological teaching activities. Throughout different seasons, a variety of plants, birds, butterflies, and frogs can be encountered, occasionally brushing past mountain mist, making it feel like walking in the clouds.
