Introduction

Located in Quchi Village of Xindian District, Wen Sun Farm lies in shallow mountains along the route from Xindian MRT station to the Wulai Scenic Area, featuring a beautiful tea plantation landscape with refreshing air. The Xindian River meanders through the Quchishan (Quchi Mountain) on the northern side of the Farm, enriching its abundant ecosystem. Within the Farm, there are camping areas, cooking zones, herbal plant specimen areas, leisure activity areas, a designated family garden, a tea art area, meeting rooms, a tea-making and study center, an agricultural product exhibition and sales center, as well as a children’s playground. These amenities collectively establish it as a new leisure destination in Taipei City and the New Taipei City Area.

A Taiwanese tea improvement center
Known as a tea industry training institute during the Japanese domination, Wen Sun Farm has been dedicated to the inheritance of Taiwanese tea production and improvement technology. The red-brick tea factory within the farm is the only tea factory in Taiwan that preserves a chimney and stands as an important landmark of the farm. In recent years, Wen Sun Farm has transitioned towards becoming a leisure farm and obtained organic tea plantation certification in 2013. In 2017, it received the first farm registration certificate in New Taipei City and is currently the venue for the "Taipei City and New Taipei City Wenshan Baozhong Tea Tea-Making Technique Competition".

A multi-functional leisure area
Currently operated by the New Taipei City Farmers’ Association, Wen Sun Farm features premises that are ideal for organizing camping, BBQs, outdoor weddings, and other activities. It is also a popular destination for elementary and high schools to hold excursions, and for colleges and universities to arrange freshmen welcoming activities. Wen Sun Farm itself has launched a one-day tour, which includes experiencing tea culture and participating in characteristic DIY teaching activities, guiding travelers through in-depth processes of tea harvesting, tea making, and tea brewing. Moreover, Wen Sun Farm is the largest butterfly habitat in Taipei and New Taipei City, making it a wonderful spot to admire butterflies in New Taipei City.

Jingtong Old Street

With the development of the railway, the busiest old street of Jingtong is at the exit of the Jingtong Station. Because of the increasing amount of tourists, the nearby merchants started catering to tourists by providing things such as local delicacies, agricultural specialties, and souvenir shop.

Shanjian Road Trail

The trail is a place really worth visiting. It was an ancient road paved along the gold mining route that connected Jiufen, Jinguashi and ShueiNanDongand passed Shuizhen Bridge (also called Gold Bridge). Travelers can visit an elusive garden next to the bridge which is known only by local people.
