April is the season when tung blossoms bloom. The 2020 New Taipei City Tung Blossom Festival series of events was originally scheduled to begin on April 16, and many travelers had already started planning their blossom-viewing trips in advance. But to align with central epidemic prevention policies, gatherings were canceled this year. However, the sea of flowers still blooms right on schedule, and there are many tung blossom spots across Taiwan. The snow-white petals falling from the trees create a dreamy scene reminiscent of flying snow.
