I’ve never overnighted in Cingjing. It gets cold at night and from what I’ve heard from others is that most of the hotels are unheated. You should definitely contact a hotel that interests you to see if they can accommodate you with a heated room for your baby.

I saw your blog when I was searching for more info on Cingjing. I was wondering if I can ask you a few questions.

I’m planning to go end of Nov and I will be traveling with my children. The youngest is 19 mths, so I’m wondering which part of Cingjing should I stay with the temperature most suitable for her?

I came across a map of Cingjing and it’s divided into 4 parts 松崗區‧畜牧區‧幼獅區‧霧社區. Can you advise?

The roads are very winding and since you suffer from travel sickness I would strongly advise you to not take a bus.

Love the pics. Im thinking of going to Cingjing in early March next year but as I suffer from pretty bad travel sickness Im wondering if I should risk going.

Whats the drive like? Are the roads really winding?

Perhaps going in a car would be better for me than the bus.

Cheers

If so, I would suggest asking the place you are staying if they can arrange transportation for you from the Taichung HSR Station.

Alternatively, there are bus services from the Taichung HSR Station: http://www.tranews.com/Show/Style200/News/c1_News.asp?SItemId=0271030&ProgramNo=A000203000001&SubjectNo=3233171

And from Taipei: http://taiwanbus.emmm.tw/?ptype=info

Currently, the road up is in great condition. Nov. and Dec. are fine times to visit, all the pictures from this post were taken in Dec ’08 and as you can see the weather was spectacular!

I am planning our trip to Taiwan next year. Qing JingFarm is one of the itinery. Our group is small and we can’t drive. Where can we hire a car and driver to bring us to Qing Jing Farm?
Due to recent Earthquake, Typhoon, we are wandering what type of risk factors we may face. Our trip is more likely to take place in Late November and early December, do you think it is the good time to visit?
Do you suggest we join the tour??( We are not very keen because it will rushing through and not relaxing.)

I’m unsure about the time it will take to drive over the Central Mountain Range, but drive carefully in case of low visibilty, rockfalls, ect. Also be careful as many people drive like maniacs on the Central Cross. If the weather is nice, you’ll probably find a lot of places along the way to stop and enjoy the view.
