Wuling Farm

Wuling Farm is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Wuling Farm rather than just read about it. In short: Wuling Farm (traditional Chinese: 武陵農場; simplified Chinese: 武陵农场; pinyin: Wǔlíng Nóngchǎng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Bú-lêng Lông-tiûⁿ) is a tourist attraction farm in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan. Located at an altitude of 1,750~2,200 meters (4750 to 7200 feet), it's known as one of the three major high mountain farms in Taiwan, besides Qingjing Farm and Fushoushan Farm.

Key takeaways

Wuling Farm belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Wuling Farm to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Wuling Farm from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Wuling Farm (traditional Chinese: 武陵農場; simplified Chinese: 武陵农场; pinyin: Wǔlíng Nóngchǎng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Bú-lêng Lông-tiûⁿ) is a tourist attraction farm in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan. Located at an altitude of 1,750~2,200 meters (4750 to 7200 feet), it's known as one of the three major high mountain farms in Taiwan, besides Qingjing Farm and Fushoushan Farm.

History The farm was established in 1963 to provide employment for retired servicemen. At the beginning of the reclamation phase, the first director of the farm led veterans in opening up land to cultivate summer highland vegetables and temperate fruit trees. He then accepted the counsel of the Agricultural Revival Development Committee in setting the farm's management policy. In 1967, the land started to be developed by reforming land, planting fruit trees and setting up the vegetable planning. The farming area was also expanded and mechanical operation methods to effectively boost the efficiency and save on manpower were also developed. In 1986, the first phase of transformation was completed. Since 1989, the farm started to gradually develop facilities, such as camping grounds, garden, tea houses, hostels and tourist service center. After completion, the farm worked together with the Veterans Farm Committee in obtaining subsidies from the Tourism Bureau in order to expand its facilities over the coming few years. Since 1999, the farm started to implement its second phase of transformation, starting from the construction of its second hostel and outsourced its management team. It expanded and renovated its facilities on its garden, park, camping grounds, tea, electrical system and botanical garden.

Geology The farm spans over 700 hectares (2¾ sq. mi.) of area located at an altitude of 1,750~2,200 meters (4750 to 7200 feet) in Shei-Pa National Park. It consists of flowers, fish farming, fruit plantation, vegetables and high mountain tea.

Facilities The farm is equipped with camping ground, trails and garden.

Transportation The farm is accessible by bus from Yilan Station, Fengyuan Station or Taipei Railway Station.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Wuling Farm

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Wuling Farm claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Wuling Farm before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Wuling Farm ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Wuling Farm

In research: Wuling Farm appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Wuling Farm in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Wuling Farm is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1963 establishments in Taiwan, Buildings and structures completed in 1963, Farms in Taichung, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Wuling Farm outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
