Chike Mountain is a famous tourist destination renowned for its golden needle flower seas. When the blooming season arrives between August and September each year, farmers are busy harvesting, sun-drying, and baking the flowers. Aside from the golden needle flower seas, you can also explore the famous “Three Sceneries of Chike,” which include three black volcanic rocks nestled in the golden needle fields, the uniquely shaped Thousand-Ton Stone Turtle — a natural rock formation — and the over 40-year-old Wang Family Ancestral House.

The climate of Tai Ma Li Golden Needle Mountain is diverse, with long hours of sunshine, providing optimal conditions for plant growth. It is a renowned flower viewing destination. The golden needle flower season runs from July to October, and because the blooming period is extremely short, the flowers are also called “one-day beauties.” The Mid-Autumn holiday is the perfect time to head up the mountain and enjoy the flower seas.
