I was there 2 days back, raining non stop spoil the trip. Its a nice place with the flowers. Lavender is still plentiful when I was there. The honey there taste great, never taste any honey so nice before so bought 3 bottles back.

I went for the BBQ buffet as well to get free entry to the garden.

Good to know that there's still lavenders. Will prepare poncho! Thanks!

Wa! Paid attractions so many?
Hard to complete in my opinion.

6 paid ones. Easily 200 each. So you are just stepping in and out within minutes. Each of you better standby 1200ntd just for basic fees.
That is to me :s

City inn at taichung about 1500ntd.
Can try those cheaper ones, but usually those are more for hourly rated use.

Hotel 53 near to the train station is also quite affordable.

its actually nothing much.
if you got more time can go there.
I use a cab, took me to lavender cottage, zhongshe flower, bai ru mushroom, gaomei wetland already use up whole day. lucky i skip the castle, got more time in lavender cottage.. which i like very much. the lavender cottage entrace is NT100 and u got NT100 voucher which can really use it meaningfully by buying food which is reasonable price.
old castle is price like NT250 and inside nothing to buy or overprice from what i read in other blog and what the my good driver told me
