A golden shower of flowers symbolizing happiness is about to light up Greater Tainan. The 2013 Tainan Cassia Festival will grandly kick off at Hutoupi Reservoir in Xinhua from June 8 to June 23. This year’s Cassia Festival has specially invited Axel, the German founder of the “Tainan May Music Festival,” and his foreign friends to perform on-site at Hutoupi Scenic Area during the festival. In addition to the hiking activities starting at Hutoupi Reservoir on June 8, the event period will also feature concerts, photography competitions, cricket fights, and other exciting programs. It is hoped that all visitors coming to Tainan for flower appreciation and travel will leave with unforgettable, romantic golden memories.

Hutoupi Reservoir also offers water recreation activities, where visitors can enjoy kayaking and windsurfing, soaking in the happiness and romance of summer. The Tourism Bureau has thoughtfully compiled a list of 11 flower-viewing spots in Tainan, aiming to foster a new trend in flower appreciation and shape the city’s unique character between May and June each year. This allows Greater Tainan to be immersed in the romantic sway of golden showers, and during the phoenix flower blooming season when students graduate, it also paves a bright golden future for these young scholars.
The “Tainan May Music Festival,” postponed for nearly a month due to heavy rain, will also take place with great fanfare at Hutoupi Scenic Area from June 7 to June 9. Themed “LOVE OF MUSIC,” in addition to music, the event site will also host many positive life experience workshops, including yoga, children’s pizza baking experiences, African dance, fire dance, painting, and guided tours around Xinhua (except for the Xinhua area guided tour workshop, which requires prior registration with the organizer, all others can be registered on-site).
