Summit Resort 新社庄园 is undeniably one of the must-go attractions at Xinshe 新社, complementary to Xinshe Flower Fest. The premises is fairly large, with vast gardens that make it suitable for families with young children and even elderly, to spend a leisurely afternoon.
For an admission of NT$250, including a NT$100 F&B coupon, I would consider this affordable for tourists.
▼ Referencing the map off its official website, there are four main zones to stroll, starting from this one nearest the main entrance.
▼ Most part of the attraction is accessibility friendly, with easy to navigate boardwalks, even for elders.
Lots of greenery and opportunity to get close to nature.
▼ The lovely stone archs at this zone will make shutterbugs happy and take up substantial memory space in your camera.
▼ The next zone houses a restaurant and retail shop. As we were not here during meal time, we skipped the restaurant but did a little shopping.
▼ The last zone is possibly my favourite, and where we spent the most time. Every angle looks great. The weather was fabulous, even for this unsheltered area.
▼ You can buy fish (and bird) feed from these dispensers - a sure way to get the fishes and swans coming to you.
Done with our couple of leisurely hours here, before we headed off into the sunset ~
