Miaoli County’s Nanzhuang Township has introduced a slow-city tourism concept in line with this year’s Tung Blossom Season. The Nanzhuang Township Office has curated family-friendly itineraries and invites visitors from across the country to “Cycle to Appreciate Tung Blossoms in Nanzhuang,” immersing themselves in the beautiful rural landscapes and seas of white tung blossoms while experiencing the area’s vibrant local culture and Hakka traditions.
The “Cycle to Appreciate Tung Blossoms in Nanzhuang” event commenced on the 20th at the Nanzhuang Visitor Center, combining family cycling routes with the township’s pastoral beauty.
