Located near the Happy Tai 9 Line at kilometer 217, it’s easily accessible from Taipei by taking the自强号 EMU3000 train, which takes just over 2 hours to reach Lin Rong Xinguang Station. Self-driving is also very convenient.


The lakeside area features a waterfall landscape, with a variety of trees including bald cypress, creating a popular spot for tourists to take photos. The white Lover’s Bridge over the lake offers a panoramic view of the majestic Central Mountain Range, with clouds swirling around the mountain slopes, forming a captivating landscape painting. The surrounding trees and natural ecology attract many migratory birds and wild ducks, making it an excellent spot for birdwatching.


The European-style garden is the first scenic spot visitors encounter upon entering the farm. Besides the seasonal flower arrangements, the sculptures on both sides represent two series: pioneers and indigenous people. The pioneer series symbolizes the early days of farm development, representing various agricultural eras from clearing land for sugarcane, sheep, and cattle to the current landscape garden, with different representative sculptures for each period. The indigenous series showcases different indigenous attire.


The statue of Yu Gong in the central pool symbolizes the spirit of overcoming difficulties and unwavering determination. Yu Gong, an ancient figure, was determined to remove two mountains blocking his family’s way, embodying the spirit that Xinguang Zhaofeng Farm upholds as it continues to develop and innovate.


Zonggu Story Hall, located on the third floor of the visitor center, showcases the 50-year history of Xinguang Zhaofeng Leisure Farm, which spans 726 hectares and was developed through the hard work and spirit of many predecessors, akin to Yu Gong’s mountain-moving determination. The hall presents many touching stories in an accessible manner, allowing visitors to understand the farm’s development and future plans, as well as surrounding attractions and indigenous culture.


The vast grasslands feature a sculpture of a buffalo named ‘Buffalo Returning Home’ on the grassy hills, making it a popular venue for large-scale events at the farm. Dear guests can wear prepared straw hats and take a few fun photos as if they were herding cattle, or remove their shoes to enjoy the fresh grass of nature.


The popular Zhaofeng Zoo is home to many adorable animals waiting for your hugs and feeding. There is also an exciting ‘Cute Animal Leaderboard,’ daily training shows featuring pig athletes, sheep herding shows, and many star animals such as sloths, alpacas, tortoises, meerkats, macaws, raccoons, and cute bunnies in the new paradise.
Spend a childlike holiday with you.
