It's currently hydrangea season, and although I initially wanted to go to Yang Ming Shan, my husband thought it would be too crowded. So instead, we visited a farm in Miaoli. This particular farm used to be dedicated to lavender but is not as famous as the Lavender Cottage in Taichung. Unfortunately, it was quite crowded, making it difficult to walk in some parts of the farm due to everyone trying to take pictures of the flowers.
Although they didn't have many hydrangeas, we could still see many other flowers in bloom. They even had a small train to take children around the farm. Like most places, you could enjoy food and drinks and even exchange your ticket for a flower.
Regarding the Lavender Cottage, it didn't have as much lavender as we expected and wasn't as beautiful as the place we visited last year. I would highly recommend going to the Lavender Cottage in Taichung instead, as it was truly amazing during the lavender blossom season.
I still want to visit Yang Ming Shan because I've seen many beautiful pictures of the hydrangea farms there, and this place kind of disappointed me.
The Lavender Cottage is located near Ming-te Reservoir. We drove around but couldn't see much except for one temple, and the water in the reservoir didn't look very clean. There is a small island inside the reservoir, but the entrance fee is required to access it.
We also visited another peaceful place in Miaoli called Yongheshan Reservoir. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good that day, and it started to rain.
I personally enjoy this kind of view, especially since we moved to the city where all I see are buildings. The Yongheshan Reservoir is a nice and quiet place, and not many people visit here.
The reservoir was built over a span of four years and completed in 1984. It has a water level of 89.5 meters and supplies water to the public areas.
