In spring, besides cherry blossoms, the fiery red kapok flowers are also a must-see floral spectacle!March is the season when kapok trees are in full bloom, with kapok-lined paths popping up all over Taiwan. Among them, the most famous Lin Chuh-pi Kapok Avenue attracts numerous travelers at this time, but if you're looking to chase flower fields, apart from Tainan, the hidden kapok boulevards are also great travel destinations.

1. Baihe Lin Chuh-pi Kapok Avenue

Acclaimed as one of the “15 Most Beautiful Flower Trail Paths in the World,” the nearly one-kilometer-long Baihe Lin Chuh-pi Kapok Avenue draws many visitors each flowering season. This year, it has also launched the “2020 Kapok Season” event, making it an unmissable floral highlight.

The hometown of the kapok lies in Tainan’s Jiangjun District, which has a total of 2,000 kapok trees—the most in the entire city. There are seven kapok avenues here, among which the section along South Route 21 (now Jiachang Road) boasts the best floral display.

3. Guiren HSR Kapok Avenue

A new flower-viewing attraction has emerged in Yunlin’s Huwei—“Huwei Kapok Avenue.” Located along County Route 145 between Huwei and Xiluo, this important thoroughfare for nearby towns stretches 8 kilometers in length and is planted with over 900 kapok trees. Currently, the floral display is at its peak, presenting a spectacular sea of fiery red that’s both majestic and photogenic!However, due to heavy traffic on this road, visitors are reminded to stay safe while enjoying the flowers and taking pictures.
