Mention the word "farm", and one may think of a muddy place where chickens run amok and where farmers in straw hats harvest rice.

But you'll find no such thing at Taiwan's fun farms, also known as leisure farms, which are recreational facilities which are often pristine (original), but not devoid of rustic charm.

One such farm is the Shin Kong Chao Feng Ranch And Resort, 新光兆丰休闲农场 xīn guāng zhào fēng xiū xián Nóng chǎng, in Hualien County.

With buildings and pavilions taking cues from European architecture (expect to see recreations of European landmarks), as well as beautiful flower gardens, this 726ha farm is a rare gem.

Before going, book a room in one of 130 cabins in the farm's Netherland's Village to fully enjoy the pastoral experience.

my paper tells you how to make the most of a day on the farm.

9am - Arrive at the farm. If you've booked a room, you could check in and wander around Netherland's Village, which has a large windmill that recalls Holland. Lovely landscaped rose gardens surround the quaint (Attractively unusual or old-fashioned) cottages.

You could also enjoy a swim in the open-air pool, soak in hot springs or have a meal at the in-house Chinese restaurant.

10am - Head to the entrance of the farm to get your tickets (NT$350 - S$15 - for adults) and a map. There, see the majestic recreation of Paris' famous Arc de Triomphe - a perfect spot for that tourist photo.

10.20am - The farm is big, so choosing your mode of transport is important. You can ride a tram which travels around the farm, rent bicycles - the price varies from NT$100 to NT$400, depending on the type of bike you choose (week day and weekend rates differ, too) - or hire a four-seater buggy (this reporter's personal favourite).



The writer chose to rent a buggy during her farm trip, which allowed her to move around without breaking a sweat.

http://www.relax.com.sg/relax/features/816612/Home_on_the_range.html


For just NT$500 for two hours, you get to drive around without breaking a sweat (you will need a valid driver's licence).

11am - If you've rented a buggy, you'd immediately pass by a European-styled garden and a castle- like building that houses the tourist information centre, restaurant and gift shop.

Get your hands on fresh dairy products produced by the farm at the shops. Try the home-made milk ice-cream - creamy and rich, it's heavenly on a warm day.

Continue on to the petting zoo, where you get up close with animals such as rabbits, ostriches, camels, mountain goats, monkeys and red and white foxes.

Along the way, stop and pose beside an obelisk and a mini Statue of Liberty. An aviary is nearby, housing more than 400 types of birds.

Explore the insect and butterfly ecological park opposite the zoo, where you can learn about the fascinating lives of these creatures. Also visit the reptile garden, where you can see iguanas and monitor lizards.

1.35pm - Head to the tourist information centre for lunch. The restaurant serves typical Chinese dishes. Then make the climb to the top of the building, where there's an open-air platform from which to enjoy a view of the entire farm.

2.45pm - Journey north, past the zoo until you reach an enormous pasture. Measuring 70ha, the land is used for the grazing of the farm's 500 head of cattle. This reporter got to see the field completely covered in a carpet of bright golden flowers.

3.15pm - As you head further north, the farm becomes less of a tourist attraction. At a rickety shed, fertiliser is produced from cattle waste.

An orchard lies to the north of the farm. There, you'll be able to pick and eat fresh fruit - such as lemons, avocados, bananas and oranges, depending on the season - straight off the trees.

4.45pm - Double back south and drive until you reach the butterfly park. There, chill out under the late-afternoon sun at the Hou Hua Yuan Cafe and Viewing Pavilion, which faces a lake.

5.30pm - Make a last stop at the Si Siu Lake, where a picturesque white bridge with two pavilions sit above a clear lake. Black swans and cygnets glide serenely on the water.

6.30pm - If you're booked into a room, you'd be able to retire to your cottage and grab dinner. You might even choose to indulge in a spa treatment before heading to bed.

Shin Kong Chao Feng Ranch And Resort is located at No. 20 Yongfu Street, Fenglin Township, Hualien County; to check it out, visit www.skcf.com.tw.

Some key features of Gardens by the Bay, including one of the two conservatories - the Flower Dome (picture) - will be open to the public for a week-long sneak preview from tomorrow, in conjunction with the 20th World Orchid Conference.

The National Parks Board said the preview will help them gauge the public's interest and will be useful in its pricing strategies for tickets when the attraction officially opens in June next year.

From Singapore’s ‘Gardens by the Bay’ by Grant Associates, on July 17, 2011 in Architecture, Energy

In 2009, Grant Associates won an international design competition to plan the largest garden project ever to be constructed in Singapore, the Marina South Gardens. The structure, which is inspired by the shape of an orchid, features a group of cooled conservatories in its center as well as a series of enormous solar ‘Supertrees’ that provide the gardens with an abundant source of rain water and renewable energy.

http://www.ecoficial.com/singapores-gardens-by-the-bay-by-grant-associates-1222/


The 18 ‘Supertrees’ will serve as towering vertical gardens that collect rainwater, generate solar power, and act as venting ducts for the conservatories. Although the gardens aren’t expected to be complete for another full year, construction is moving right along and the ‘Supertrees’ are truly a magical sight to behold.

The following information is from the architects:
This competition-winning idea structures the design of a 54-hectare public garden on the organisation and physiology of the orchid. The orchid is the national flower of Singapore and is the most cosmopolitan species of flowering plant in the world. At the same time it is typically epiphytic or transient in its colonisation of habitats.

It seemed to us entirely appropriate, if a bit obvious, to capture the essential qualities and characteristics of orchids in the layout and underlying philosophy for these new gardens.

The sketches show a progression of the idea. First the garden takes root on a piece of new garden infrastructure and grows out towards the City. Leaves (earthworks), roots (water, energy, communication systems) and shoots (paths, roads and links) create an integrated network across the space, and beautiful flowers (feature/theme gardens) occur at key intersections or nodes.

Gustafson Porter recently received a commendation in the category Big Urban Projects at the MIPIM AR Future Projects Awards 2011 for the project Bay East, Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. Director Mary Bowman will attend the MIPIM Award ceremony on 9 March 2011 in Cannes. The Gardens aim to capture the essence of Singapore as the premier tropical Garden City with the perfect environment in which to live, work and play, re-engineering Singapore into a leading global city of the 21st century.

The masterplan has evolved from these simple ideas into a highly sophisticated and integrated 3-D network of horticulture, art, engineering and architecture. It is chasing the idea of creating a highly distinctive and decorative garden landscape underpinned by serious engineering [of environmental infrastructure] and world-class garden architecture. This holistic vision is captured in the concept diagram of the garden ecosystem.

At the heart of the gardens are the ‘Supertrees’, a fusion of nature, art and technology. They are both spectacular vertical tropical gardens dripping with ferns, orchids and climbers, and the environmental engines for the gardens, equipped with photovoltaics, solar thermal collectors, rainwater harvesting devices and venting ducts. The Supertrees will support a 135m length aerial walkway, suspended 21.5m from the ground; the tallest Supertree of 50m in height will also house a bar at the top.

The Supertree studies explore part of the process of form, finding and marrying the efficiency of a structurally engineered design with the aesthetic and environmental requirements. In addition we have made 3-D prints of the structures at 1:100 scale to help fine-tune the details and to turn 3-D computer screen images into touchable objects.

Welcome to the gardens by Alexwise

PHOTO: St Helens is probably an hour away from Coles Bay and is quite similar in terms of beaches but is still worth checking. I personally like the Bay of Fires area and St Columbia Falls which makes this area quite diverse for photographers. A nice place to get a fix for waterfalls and waterscapes.
