A trip to "Green World" is fun for the whole family. 发现你身边的美好世界。走一趟（绿世界），全家大小都开心。
Tired of urban sprawl and looking for a chance to get back to nature? Hsinchu County's Green World Ecological Farm may be just what you've been looking for. Built on over 70 hectares, the park's combination of plant and animal ecology gives the entire family a chance to relax and learn about the natural world.
Swan Lake
A bird-watcher's paradise, the Swan Lake section of Green World is home to black and white swans, pelicans, ducks and many other birds. Each winter, the lake also serves as a temporary home to wild geese at the southern end of their annual migration from Siberia.
Follow the hiking trail around the lake, and then check out Green World's colorful collection of macaws. Watch a macaw show to see these beautiful, intelligent creatures riding bicycles, doing arithmetic and performing countless other amazing feats.
Plants and Critters
After the show, be sure to explore the park's Discovery Land section. There you'll find an incredible array of plants with special areas devoted to herbs,orchids, cacti and even carnivorous plants. You'll also find the Lovely Animal Area, which gives park visitors, especially children, a chance to interact with small animals up close.
The Biodiversity
Adventure Area is where things really start to get wild. The area contains all kinds of exotic animals from around the world. In addition to a range of creepy-crawlies, there are reptiles, sloths and flamingos. Also worth a visit is the Rainforest Skyway- an elevated pathway that winds through the forest 15 meters above the ground. The skyway gives visitors a whole new perspective on the area's rain forests. Expect to see lots of wild orchids and vines and to hear lots of frogs and birds.
Butterflies and Birds
Among Green World's most notable attractions are its bird and butterfly areas. The Butterfly Ecological Park is the largest of its kind in Asia and gives visitors a chance to saunter through enclosed gardens filled with butterflies. The Butterfly Ecological Park also features an educational area and extensive displays on other insects.
Scattered throughout the park are small shops and restaurants serving snacks and meals for every taste. Visitors with an interest in history and the restoration of old buildings will find the Hakka Ancient Restaurant of particular interest. Located in the restored 100-year-old home of the Fan family, the restaurant serves traditional Hakka food.
The beauty of nature, the fun and all the family activities make Green World a place you won't want to miss.
