A Perfect Half-Day Trip for Dragon Boat Festival at Jinyong Tomato Farm

Jinyong Tomato Farm offers free admission and a variety of activities within its premises. Visitors can pound mochi, create succulent plant pots 🪴, and paint tomato figurines. In the farming area, you can pick various types of tomatoes, colorful bell peppers 🫑, and purchase a wide range of flower pots. Additionally, the tasting area allows you to sample different varieties of tomatoes and bell peppers, enjoy a refreshing glass of tomato juice, or buy fresh produce to take home. This destination is perfect for office workers who want a short getaway during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday without traveling far. It’s an ideal spot for a family-friendly half-day trip, combining outdoor fun with time to relax at home—a win-win situation. At the start of the visit, staff members provide an introduction to the various tomato varieties. In addition to the common types found in Taiwan, the farm showcases rare varieties from Japan, the Netherlands, Italy, and Germany. One standout for me was the German Black Angel Tomato. Seeing a black tomato for the first time was fascinating, and its taste—sweet and tangy—was delightful. This unique experience combines education with entertainment.
