Recommended self-driving attractions in Taitung｜Does Ruisui Ranch also have a Hokkaido feel?】Visiting Ruisui Ranch in the rainstorm was unexpectedly healing

We went north from Taipei back to Taipei. That day we chose to take the Hualien-Taitung Valley Route. The mountain scenery along the way was very spectacular, but we encountered the outer circulation of the typhoon + heavy rain warning, and the mountain road was still quite dangerous, so we needed to drive carefully. The first stop was Brown Avenue. Because of the heavy rain, we didn't experience riding in the rice fields. We hurriedly took photos and took pictures of Takeshi Kaneshiro before continuing north. 🚘 I thought it would be a disappointment, but I didn't expect that the Ruisui Ranch on the way would become a memorable stop for us! 🚗 How to get to Ruisui Ranch? 📍Located in Wuhe Village, Ruisui Township, Hualien County, it is one of the most famous ranches in eastern Taiwan and is often compared with the scenery of Hokkaido. This time we drove north along Provincial Highway 9. Although it was raining heavily outside, the mountain scenery of the entire Hualien-Taitung Valley was still shocking. There were very few vehicles when we entered Ruisui Ranch. We were probably the only tourists in the whole venue. The entrance and parking spaces were empty, and it was very easy to park! 🐮 I was healed as soon as I entered the ranch｜Watching cows in the rain is also romantic The ranch is not big, but it is very clean and tidy. The rain was too heavy, and most of the dairy cows huddled in the shed to avoid the rain, only showing their wet noses to observe us "They are looking at us!"🤎 Each cow is super clean, and it can be seen that they are well taken care of. Some will lick each other's fur and interact with each other. The whole picture is super cute! 📸 Although the weather is bad, because there are not many people, you can watch the cows interact with peace of mind and quietly feel the atmosphere of the ranch, which is a different flavor~ 🛍️ Must-buy souvenirs area｜Nougat & egg rolls dominate The first stop is the souvenir shop at the entrance, which has a variety of desserts, dairy products and packaged gift boxes made from Mizuho milk. 🧁 We tried: Milk nougat: chewy and non-sticky, rich milk aroma, not sweet Meat floss flavor nougat: highly recommended! Sweet and salty, it tastes super delicious Handmade egg rolls: original and cheese flavors, crispy and not greasy 🎁 Finally bought a big bag as a souvenir, luckily there is air conditioning or I really can't help but finish it first😋 ☕ Small café snack time｜Milk pudding is the MVP of the day! After visiting the souvenir shop, we went to the small cafe next to it. The decoration is simple and wooden, very warm. Mizuho fresh milk: It's really rich and fragrant, not inferior to Hokkaido! (It's also good for taking pictures haha) Fresh milk pudding: Highly recommended💯! It melts in your mouth, and the milky aroma is super rich. My eyes lit up after eating it✨ ☔ Although it was raining outside, I sat by the window, listened to the rain, smelled the milky aroma, and watched the cows peeking out of the cowshed opposite. The whole atmosphere was more comfortable and relaxing than I imagined. It is a good place to rest when driving north #Ruisui Ranch #Taitung Attractions #Huadong Valley Tour #Nature #Cow #Self-driving Tour #Huadong Travel #Pudding Milk is also delicious
