The event runs from December 16 to January 20, 2013, with the main flower sea covering 20 hectares, including two areas: Chihding Farm next to Puli Putai High School and the Puli Flower Logistics Center. In addition to the exhibition areas planned by the county government, Chihding Farm also sees participation from nearby operator Tai Yih Ecological Leisure Farm, which has created three thousand Yaezakura cherry blossom trees, one thousand tree grape trees, a pumpkin area, and a greenhouse strawberry area, further expanding and enriching the Nantou Flower Carnival. The natural flower-viewing spots scattered across Nantou’s various townships are also a highlight this year. From December through March of next year, various town-specific flowers—including plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, camellias, and peonies—will bloom in succession. Moreover, a Flower Viewing Information Station will be launched this year to provide real-time updates on flower conditions. The five major flower zones in Nantou—Puli, Xinyi, Ren’ai, Lugu, and Zhushan—can be monitored anytime via the event’s official website for flower conditions and weather, allowing for worry-free travel planning to enjoy the blooms.
During the event period, various townships in Nantou County will also hold a series of local activities, such as Puli Town’s Charming Samba FUN Puli, Caotun Town’s Countryside Fun Fantasy, Jiji Town’s Flower and Fruit Picking Joyride, Xinyi Township’s Lona Christmas Night Gala, Snow-Shoeing and Plum-Blossom-Seeking Series, Caotun Head Cherry Blossom Season, Ren’ai Township’s Qingjing New Year’s Eve Countdown, Yuchi Township’s Orchid Township Red Blossoms Welcoming Spring, Zhushan Township’s Shanlinxi Peony Flower Season, and Guoxing Township’s Bigfoot Marathon—totaling over 10 local specialty events. The entire Nantou region becomes a lively carnival, with floral sights to enjoy and activities to take part in everywhere. For detailed event information, visit: travel.nantou.gov.tw/2012flower.
