So we are headed to Miaoli County for the Day . Setting off from our previous night at Puli township, the driver took the highway and we were on about 1.5 hour journey from Puli to Miaoli !
First stop would be the famous Flying Cow Ranch ! Its rather chilly and the farm was huge, larger than expected !
This was taken inside their shop! its a cafe, with souvenirs shop beside it .
Started our free and easy farm walking ~~
Cows !!!!
A tiny pony !!!!
Lambs !!!
Little ducklings !!!
Went into the rabbit house !!!
the animals are so cute !!! and not smelly at all , i think because the weather cold. hehe...
Went back to the cafe and shop !
This is their restaurant !
After our farm walk, took about 1.5 hour to 2 hours, inclusive of dining time. We hopped back onto the car and headed to the heart of Hakka Garden, which we did not spend much time there !
Hopped back onto the car and headed to Miaoli, Strawberry Dahu Wineland Resort :D

Took many pictures with the fruits structure, so cute ! But very sad that the strawberries are not in season at the time of our visit !
Tiny bits of strawberry growing ... haha
Well we then went into their strawberry cafe ~
After buying some strawberry souvenirs (they had a big gift shop over there which sells anything from soft toys to strawberry wine) , we hopped on to our next and last destination for the day - Schokolate Chocolate Factory (actually its a big mansion with a quaint garden)
Swan in their pond outside !
Its not a small compound, and there were like 2 cafes inside this place !
Went into the Chocolate House and what else to do but to make our own chocolates ~ hehe
Actually is they already make for you, you just pour it yourself and decorate !!
We just took the smallest and easiest set, just for tries . haha
Happy but tired with my DIY Chocolates !
You could stay here if you wanted ! Its called Schokolake Country House.
We headed to our hotel of the night, which was King's Resort and Spa !
Found out about this place on the web, although it is a bit far from the centre of Miaoli (half hour drive) but they had an outdoor spa area and private hot spring room ! And the water is simply AMAZING - so smooth and soft ! Makes your skin like baby skin, haha, no kidding. I will never go to Beitou hot springs againnnnn.... (got a nasty sulfur burn scar there)
You can read my review on King's Resort on tripadvisor :)
