The annual Bridgehead “Flower Field Festival” has entered its 7th year this time, successfully attracting tens of thousands of visitors every year, with last year’s turnout reaching as many as 600,000. This year, the Qiaotou District Office has planted over 40 hectares of cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers, and marigolds. These colorful blooms are arranged into five giant floral totem designs, with the blooming period lasting from now until December 8.

In addition to the main flower field area, a 1,200-meter-long sunflower sea has been planted along Provincial Highway 1 from Rainbow Bridge to the McDonald's on Qiaoxin 6th Road. Along the way, visitors can spot various installations, and many people take advantage of the weekend to cycle leisurely through the flower fields or fly all kinds of kites. During the event period, the organizers also provide free shuttle services at Exit 2 of Kaohsiung MRT Qiaotou Station, making it more convenient for the public to enjoy the flowers. Nearby shops have also launched various promotional offers in conjunction with the event. After admiring the floral beauty of Qiaotou, visitors can also explore the former sugar refinery and relive the glory days of Qiaotou’s sugar industry.
