Although it rarely snows in Taiwan during winter, around Christmas time, the dreamy white Michelia trees burst into bloom, resembling soft, romantic flakes of first snow. It’s a seasonal photo hotspot exclusive to winter, with the blooming period from November to January. Here are four popular spots to admire the white Michelia, so make sure to catch the blooms while they last.

1.Guanghua University
Located on Bagua Mountain in Nantou, Guanghua University has planted a vast expanse of white Michelia. Every winter, it attracts many visitors to come and admire the flowers. The university operates as a social learning institution, offering courses on I Ching and feng shui, among others. Its campus buildings feature classic Chinese architectural styles, and when paired with the snowy-white clusters of Michelia, the scenery takes on a uniquely charming vibe.

Also located in Puli, Nantou, Maplehuatai No. 1 Resort combines ecology and leisure, making it a great destination for family outings and couple dates. The resort has planted a row of white Michelia trees, and every winter, the branches are covered with delicate white blossoms. Paired with the golden hues of the tallow trees, the two complement each other beautifully, draping the mountain forest as if in a golden-white coat — a truly enchanting sight.

3. Muxinquan Leisure Farm
When it comes to white Michelia, Muxinquan Leisure Farm in Taichung is especially popular. The romantic flower path where white Michelia and golden maple intertwine can enchant anyone with its exquisite winter scenery. However, the white Michelia at Muxinquan blooms earlier, so visiting too late may mean missing the full bloom.
