Introduction
Ke Miao Orchid Leisure Farm, located in Dongshi, Taichung, mainly grows cymbidiums, most of which are exported to Korea and China. The most outstanding are the Cymbidium sinese Willd and Cymbidium ensifolium. The owner of the farm, Sung Chia-Chuan, is the leader of the second group of the Flower Production and Marketing Group, regarded as the first production and marketing group in the orchid industry. With their large quantities, delicate fragrance, and long flowering period, orchids are popular among tourists and traders. Even the Office of the President of Korea specifically requests the space to be decorated with cymbidiums exported from Taiwan by air.
Since cymbidiums are foliage plants, they look more beautiful when the leaves turn yellow. They also emit a mild fragrance. The climate in Dongshi is great for growing flowers, and the temperature in winter here is relatively low. At 18°C, it is a good temperature for the flowers to blossom. Sung Chia-Chuan has stablished net rooms to cultivate cymbidiums, enhancing the quality of them, reducing agricultural production costs, and making cymbidiums in Taiwan more competitive around the world.

It takes about 20 minutes by car to reach the farm from National Freeway No.4 in the direction of Dongshi. It is a good place to watch the mountain scenery and stars. The farm also provides orchid DIY activities for visitors to enjoy and take an orchid home as a souvenir of their trip. Many tourists like to enjoy the scenery and take a walk around as well as experience the hospitality of the Hakka people.
To give locals a chance to experience the beauty of orchids, Song JiaQuan deliberately keeps some of the highly valued orchids that were meant to be exported and shares them with tourists. He also works with the production and marketing members of his team to teach the art of pottery at the farm, using primary processing methods like pruning and planting, transforming the common flower into elegant potted flowers and at the same time providing Hakka meals on the farm, thus allowing visitors to relax both physically and mentally and enjoy a peaceful weekend.
