Meinong Folk Village
The village is an artificial re-creation of an old-fashioned neighbourhood. It is definitely touristy but well worth visiting nonetheless, as you can watch traditional crafts being made and sample Hakka léi chá (擂茶; pounded tea), an assortment of sticky-rice snacks, and tasty traditional noodles.
Village stores sell well-made paper umbrellas, fans and bamboo baskets. At the back of the village, outside the last shop, are two metal pots filled with water. Dip your hands in the water and rub the handles of the pots. The sound is like a hundred wine glasses being rubbed at one time.

Yellow Butterfly Valley
Locals have told us that the butterflies are coming back in numbers to the valley and recent seasons have been the best in years. The butterflies flock to the valley in June and July and are best seen in the morning when the sun rises (and rouses them from sleep).
