By / Scenic Spots Home compiled report
 
Early spring sees a spectacular bloom of yellow trumpet trees, setting off a golden whirlwind across media platforms. Among all the regions in Taiwan where these golden blooms flourish, Chiayi stands out as the most vibrant and popular. Below are six top yellow trumpet tree spots in Chiayi—typically at their peak for two to three weeks, so chase the blooms before they fade.

1. Bazhang River Levee Footpath
Between Zhongyi Bridge and Junhui Bridge in Chiayi City, the banks of the Bazhang River are lined with blooming yellow trumpet trees, creating a yellow corridor over a kilometer long. Countless golden blooms dot the landscape—but with the bloom period lasting only about two weeks, timing is key.

2. Putzu Creek Trumpet Tree Footpath
The embankments along both sides of the “Putzu Creek Flood Control Channel” in Taibao City, Chiayi County, are planted with yellow trumpet trees stretching over a kilometer. Once hailed in 2015 as Taiwan’s most beautiful “golden tunnel,” this spot is booming again this year, with the best viewing period before mid-March.

3. Renyi Road
On Renyi Road in Zhongpu Township, Chiayi County, the yellow trumpet trees on both sides of the road are also in full, glorious bloom, forming a stunning golden avenue. The sight attracts many passersby to stop and admire the flowers—but stay mindful of traffic safety while taking photos and enjoying the view.

4. Xingjia Suspension Bridge
Near Xuanci Temple in East District, Chiayi City, the levee by Xingjia Suspension Bridge is covered with golden trumpet trees bursting into full bloom. The magnificent spectacle of golden flower clusters paints the footpath with the most radiant spring vibes.
