We head off to Qingjing Farm, located in the Nantou county of Taiwan at at a 1,750 metres above sea level. It has a cool climate and is best known for its friendly sheep grazing the grassland.




Some of the more shy sheep prefer to hangout in the enclosures

You can purchase sheep feed at one of the vending machines around the grassland. You will instantly become extremely popular with the sheep
The feed comes in brown paper bags, so when these cute sheep hear the paper sounds, they will look up eagerly.


These photos are unedited, so it's really beautiful on the mountains!
