Fazenda de Chocolate Pingtung Asin: Ingressos, experiência DIY, passeio noturno para observar cervos-sambar

A great place for families of all ages to visit. Tickets can be booked online, and in addition to discounts, there's an 80-dollar coupon available. There's no minimum spend, but you'll find yourself buying a lot without realizing it. For example, their chocolate tea samples are so good you'll definitely buy a box. The ice cream is excellent, and the popcorn tastes especially delicious outdoors. The park has many plants, small animals, and fish. Various types of feed are sold at reasonable prices, allowing you to experience close-up animal feeding. In summary, it's a great value attraction. Parking is convenient, the park isn't huge but offers guided tours and optional chocolate experience classes. Overall, it's a rich experience that can fill an entire morning's itinerary.

It's very convenient and quick to buy tickets on the app closer to the time. Not only is it cheaper than buying on-site, but you still get an 80-yuan voucher for use in the park. It's a great deal to use it for two ice creams, and the ice cream is delicious. I'm not sure if it was because the weather was too hot, but unfortunately, I only saw one free-roaming deer, and it ran away quickly, making it difficult to feed the animals. The park isn't very big, so you can walk through it quite fast. If you collect all the park stamps, you can exchange them for tasty cocoa beans. I hope the variety of animals in the park can be increased, otherwise, the original 200-yuan ticket price might feel a bit overpriced.

Tickets can be partially redeemed for purchases within the park, and buying them online is slightly cheaper than on-site. I used the redemption voucher to buy a chocolate ice cream, which was small but delicious! It was very hot on the day I visited, and the small shop selling goods had air conditioning and a seating area where we could rest. There weren't many deer in the park, I only saw two or three, but they weren't afraid of people and just stood in the middle of the path. You can ask the staff if you can pet the deer near them. There's some deer droppings on the ground in the park, so be careful not to step on them. There aren't many facilities, just hiking and enjoying the scenery.

Although Hengchun has several places where you can see animals, due to the recent scorching weather, we felt from the photos that A-Shin was a greener option, so we decided to visit A-Shin Chocolate Farm on a weekday. The discounted admission ticket is 180 NTD per person, of which 80 NTD can be used for purchases within the park, whether it's for ice cream, buying hay to feed animals, or souvenirs. The park is closer to nature, so remember to bring mosquito repellent!

Tickets can be purchased and used on-site, and can also be used to offset 80 NTD of consumption within the park. Night tours to see sika deer require a reservation and an additional ticket fee. The park animals include sika deer, chickens, and rabbits, and you can buy feed for them. There's also chocolate DIY (available at specific times), a brief introduction to cocoa pods, chocolate for purchase, ice cream, and drinks. Personally, I don't think it's worth buying a ticket just to enter.

You need to show the QR code to exchange for tickets! Last time I came was for the night visit to see the sika deer, and it seemed they were all full and wouldn't eat the leaves. This time, I came during the day, and the ticket can be used to offset 80 NTD, which can be exchanged for feed: leaves are 50 NTD, and carrots are also 50 NTD. The sika deer prefer carrots; they are picky about eating leaves, so I recommend exchanging for carrots. There are rabbits inside, and it seems they were also full and wouldn't eat the feed. You can go into the ice cream shop to sample chocolates!

The park has sika deer, bunnies, chickens, and ducks. The admission ticket includes an NT$80 credit that can be used for purchases (drinks, snacks, hay, carrots, fish food, etc.). The animals are very gentle and not afraid of people. The gift shop also features singing and magic shows. At the Cocoa Research Lab, freshly harvested cocoa pods are available, and the staff enthusiastically cuts them open for tasting. They taste sweet, very similar to lychee and mangosteen. Next, we tried the roasted cocoa, which looked like nuts, and after chewing, the chocolate flavor emerged – a truly unique experience. Walking to the highest point, there's a platform with a beautiful view of the sea.

Sika deer are very shy and love carrots, but they hide when tourists approach. The "Taiwan Chocolate Ice Cream" at the White Dream Workshop is delicious. If you join a guided tour, you might learn more about the park and cocoa. The farm voucher is 80 NTD (can be used for goods, food, DIY activities, and deer feeding within the park).
