Highlights of Danei Zouma Creek Farm

Zouma Creek Farm is located in Danei District, Tainan City, close to the Zengwen River. The farm takes advantage of the gentle riverside slopes to create a large expanse of lawn, with wide open views and, on clear days, a distant view of the surrounding hills. The farm covers more than a hundred hectares, making it one of the larger leisure farms in southern Taiwan. The grounds are divided into different activity zones according to the terrain, including lawns, forest trails, and a campground, all maintained in a natural, farmlike setting.

The farm offers grass-sledding year-round, and hot-air balloon rides are one of the main attractions (confirm available times and safety conditions, as these vary by season and weather). The farm hosts its annual Zouma Creek Farm Concert and Hot-air Balloon Carnival on a regular schedule, drawing visitors who travel specifically for the events. Tickets may need to be purchased in advance during event periods — check the farm's official announcements for exact dates and ticketing details.

How to Make the Most of Your Visit

🎈
Hot-air Balloon RideThe farm offers hot-air balloon flights with aerial views of the grassy hillside and rolling landscape along the Zengwen River. This is the farm's most distinctive experience and depends on weather and the farm's scheduling — book in advance.
🛝
Grass SleddingThe farm's gentle slopes have grass-sledding runs suitable for families with children. Available year-round, though it is best to avoid rainy days when the slopes are slippery. Ask on-site about activity fees and equipment rental.
Overnight CampingThe farm has a campground where guests can spend the night under the stars above Tainan's rural hillsides. Advance reservations with the farm are required. Ask whether equipment rental is available or whether you need to bring your own gear.
🎵
Farm ConcertThe annual Zouma Creek Farm Concert features outdoor music on the grass lawn — a rare open-air performance setting. Check the farm's annual event calendar for exact dates and programme details.
