Rollin Farm B&B

The rooms are large and have great views. On sunny days you can see Taichung's green mountains from above, and when it's rainy there's a spectacular sea of clouds. A lovely place to relax and catch up with loved ones.

It's a peaceful spot to spend an afternoon, and you can stay as long as you like. The observation point costs 200NT to enter and is open from 8 to 5.30pm. There's hot water and tea bags but no food, so bring your own snacks. For a place to stay, contact the owner through Facebook. It's beautiful, but the cloud sea is unpredictable, and some days all you get is fog.

The hosts were really friendly, and the view was amazing. It's an experience unlike anywhere else, and I had a great time. I'd come back on my next trip to Taichung and recommend it to friends who are going there.

The sunset had already disappeared by the time we got there, so that part was no loss. We had walked up Rollin Farm after people told us it was a perfect sunset spot. It's a nice 15 minute walk from the police station on the main road, and the terrace has a good view. But the owner asked if we had a reservation, and when we said no, replied, “OK, bye bye” in a rude, unwelcoming way. The same thing happened to another group of five just before us. Entry was 200NTD, and you should book ahead. I felt the owner didn't like foreigners. I won't go back and would suggest finding another spot, which shouldn't be hard up there. That isn't how to run a business. Disgusted.
