Cingjing at a Glance
A high-mountain farm in Ren'ai Township, known for Green Green Grassland, sheep, and a cluster of European-style homestays. About a 50-minute drive from Green Manor Flying Pavilion, at roughly 1,750 meters above sea level.
Must-See Sheep Show
The sheep show and sheep-herding show at Green Green Grassland are the signature programs; schedules vary by season, so check the official website before you go. The grassland offers wide-open views, and on clear days you can see the Qilai Mountain Range.
Transportation and Mountain Roads
Take Provincial Highway 14A up the mountain; there are many curves and some narrow sections, so daytime driving is recommended—avoid descending at night. Those prone to motion sickness should take medication beforehand.
High-Altitude Tips
Temperatures on the mountain are 8 to 10 degrees lower than in Puli, so bring a light jacket even in summer. UV rays are strong—a hat and sunscreen are essential. Fog often rolls in in the afternoon, so it's best to schedule your itinerary for the morning.
Nearby Add-Ons
From Cingjing you can continue to Wuling on Hehuan Mountain, but the round-trip drive is long—consider setting aside a separate day or staying overnight in the mountain area.
