The Wei Wei Jia is the most famous persimmon tourist farm. You can visit how they make the sun persimmons by the traditional way. They also sell many local specialty food.

If you come here by driving, don't worry, they have many parking spaces for free.

Three-section compound, the tradition architecture of Taiwan. (三合院, san-ho-yuan)

After the persimmons were washed and peeled, the workers put them into the oven whose temperature is about 45 to 50 degree, then sun the persimmons on the yard at least 7 days.

A kitten also sun on the yard. XD

The workers are showing the traditional way to process the sun persimmons.

It's also a popular photogenic place of Taiwan in autumn season.
