A couple weeks back Cathy and I checked out the Hejia Ranch [禾家牧場] on Yinghangshan [銀行山]. The ranch was established twenty years ago and specializes in dairy products such as milk, ice cream, yogurt, and popsicles. Yinghangshan is located on Baguashan [八卦山], making this a popular spot for families and cyclists.
Cathy approves the chocolate/milk combo flavor
Above: there’s a small pen full of baby calves near the entrance, this was the only one not sleeping through the heat. Below: an adult cow takes a break from eating.
Directions: If coming from Changhua, travel along 74 jia [74甲] and turn left at Line 139 [139線]. You’ll see a sign pointing up to Yinghangshan. Here’s its location on Google Maps.

man, i really need to get out of taipei and explore more! now that i’m back for good i gotta figure out how to get out into the countryside where there’s less smog and more fresh air.
Definitely do yourself a favor and get out of Taipei City as often as you can! The city takes a serious toll on one’s physical and mental health! Luckily there’s a great transportation network to help escape!
