🌸 Cherry blossom viewing in spring: the sea of ​​pink flowers is as good as Japan!
Taiwan's cherry blossom season lasts from January to April. Due to the large climate differences between the north and the south, the cherry blossom blooms at different times in different regions. Here are some super beautiful cherry blossom viewing spots recommended, allowing you to take romantic photos that rival those in Japan.
1️⃣ Yangmingshan｜Taipei City
📍 Best time to view cherry blossoms: early February – mid-March
Yangmingshan has more than 20 varieties of cherry blossoms, the most famous of which are the pink Hikanzakura and the tender pink Yoshino cherry. We recommend going to Lane 42, Pingjing Street to take photos of the beautiful cherry blossom tunnel, or going to Yangmingshan Flower Clock and Zhuzihu to enjoy the pink beauty all over the mountains.
2️⃣ Wuling Farm｜Taichung City
📍 Best time to view cherry blossoms: mid-February – early March
Known as the "Little Kyoto of Taiwan", the cherry blossom season at Wuling Farm is comparable to that of Nara, Japan. The Yoshino cherry blossoms and Fuji cherry blossoms that cover the mountains attract a large number of photography enthusiasts every year. You can also see wild sika deer roaming under the cherry trees here, which is a unique experience.
3️⃣ Alishan｜Chiayi County
📍 Best time to view cherry blossoms: mid-March – early April
When the Yoshino cherry and double cherry blossoms in Alishan are in full bloom, it seems as if the entire mountain is dyed pink. Take the Alishan train through the cherry blossom forest and feel the dreamy atmosphere of cherry blossom rain falling on the window. This is definitely a romantic attraction that you must experience in your life!
4️⃣ Taiping Mountain Jianqing Nostalgic Trail｜Yilan County
📍 Best time to view cherry blossoms: mid-March – mid-April
This trail is known as the "most beautiful cherry blossom railway". Along the way, you can see pink Yoshino cherry blossoms and steamy cloud forests intertwined together, like a fairyland. In addition to enjoying the cherry blossoms, you can also soak in the hot springs and experience a full-scale journey of physical and mental relaxation.
