Cingjing Farm

Cingjing Farm is a sheep farm in Datong Village located at 1,750 meters (5,741 feet) above sea level in the mountains of Nantou County, where sheep graze across broad green slopes. The property covers multiple sections with pastures, buildings, and paths for visitors to explore.

The farm was established in February 1961 by the Veterans Affairs Council to provide settlement for soldiers from Yunnan Province who had relocated following the Chinese Civil War. This founding purpose shaped the site's role as a new home for this community.

European architectural features like castles and windmills shape how visitors experience this location, reflecting a design approach popular in Taiwan during the 1980s and 1990s. These structures create a distinctive visual character that sets the farm apart from typical rural agricultural areas.

The farm is accessible via Highway 14A, and visitors can explore different sections by walking through the grounds. Visitors should expect changeable mountain weather and wear appropriate footwear for walking on slopes.

The property is divided into four distinct sections, each offering different experiences and perspectives on farming and mountain landscapes. This variety allows visitors to explore different parts of the farm based on their interests and how much time they have.
