Good times didn't last forever though, and the tide of visitors coming out to the mountains lasted less than three years before it started to recede. Chang analyzed the situation and saw that most people coming to the farm were locals from Ilan who came because the farm was a novelty, so they tended not to return.
只是好景不常，人潮擁擠的狀況不到 3 年便開始下滑。張清來分析，來的客人大都是宜蘭本地人，趁新鮮來過一次後就不再光臨。
