We stopped by Chun Yang, the subfarm of Meifeng where they have the ethneobotany garden, but didn't get a chance to see it during our tour around the farm.
First stop to pick cherry tomatoes! Typically, the tomatoes are ripe around this time of the year but because of cooler summer weather these aren't ripe yet. We were only allowed to pick TWO cherry tomatoes each.
Kylee and I with our two precious cherry tomatoes. They were really sweet!
Even littlefoot likes our cherry tomatoes! :p
We then had a tour around Chun Yang to see the aborigines housing and also to learn about the flora in this region, which was especially fun because our guides showed us what the aborigines used the plants for. I tried a water bubble from a fern (which can be eaten when you're thirsty) and here's Jimmy using buds as darts on Ken's shirt!
Our guides A-Lu and Walis! I got up early that morning and they brought me out birdwatching again, so interesting! We saw a lot more birds compared to the group tour, I guess because groups get really noisy. Saw the scaly thrush, which apparently even most guides hardly get to see, especially in summer!
After Meifeng, we drove to Shuili's wood factory, and our first activity was assembling this Rubin's (Luban) Lock. It was really confusing at first but you get the hang of it :)
Next day when we made our own tissue box covers! Putting some elbow grease in to get my box cover sanded smooth (I kid. I got someone to help me do it because it was too much effort hahaha)
