Hsinchu Xiangshan-Waste Mom Nursery Farm (Capibara Close Range)

Recently, various self-media have been playing cute videos of capybaras crazily. Because they all use Capybara's brainwashing hits as the soundtrack, capybaras have also gained a new nickname "Capybara". As a super cute new internet darling, my bestie couldn’t let it go, so when she went on a trip this time, she found this must-visit attraction, where she could get up close and personal with the Capybara without any barriers. In fact, when I first heard the name of this farm, I found it a bit funny. How could someone be called Waste Mom? But later when I entered the farm, I found that the design here is very cute and very suitable for a parent-child day trip. This is a reservation-only environment. Because you have to get close to the animals, the number of people in each time period is controlled. You need to make an online reservation in advance. If you go directly to the site, you will not be allowed to enter. After purchasing the ticket, each person will be given a handful of grass and can go in to feed the animals. A safety video will be played before entering the yard. You are not allowed to bring food into the yard for fear that the animals will accidentally eat it. There are free lockers at the entrance, but I think it’s good to bring food with you, and you can eat it in the rest area after the tour! As soon as we entered, my girlfriend went straight to the Capybara area. The cute capybaras were soaking in the water in the hot summer, looking lazy. The yard here is well designed. The animals are divided into two areas. One area is for capybaras, ducks, lambs, and turtles. The animals are very harmonious. There are also staff in the park watching at all times. They start to salvage leaves and clean up excrement after a while, so there is no odor in the whole farm and the animals are all very clean. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : It is not recommended to go during long holidays. Although the number of people is controlled, there are more people making reservations on holidays. It is better to go on weekdays so that you can enjoy the happiness of being surrounded by animals. After leaving the park and returning to the indoor area, there are some animal merchandise for sale, as well as pinball machines and capsule toy machines. You can enjoy discounts with your ticket stubs. There are also photo booth machines and name stickers. The farm has many designs for the small animals, so I made a name sticker, which is very cute. The final exit is at the same location as the exit. You can exchange your ticket stub for a cup of black tea or a small cake. In fact, the ticket to this farm is very cost-effective, and you can get souvenirs after playing. There are also toucans, guard foxes, and raccoons at the entrance and exit (air-conditioned area), but these can only be appreciated through the glass. There is a seating area next to it, and we enjoyed the food we brought in front of the cute animals. This place is a bit remote, and there are fields all around. There are no shops. There are some snacks for sale in the farm, but it is still recommended to bring some food when you come!
