Travel Center / Comprehensive Report

In Tainan’s Jiajiang District, the neighborhoods of Lingziliao and Jiachang are home to fiery red kapok tree lanes known only to locals. Though they may not be as famous as Bahe’s Linchupi, Asia’s only most beautiful flower sea street, Jiajiang’s kapok lanes are longer and more widespread. During the spring break, why not take the Tainan Bus Blue 1 or Blue 10 branch lines to explore these secret kapok tree spots in Jiajiang, and also visit Jiajiang Fishing Port and Beimen Crystal Church for a relaxing bus trip?

The main highlights of Jiajiang’s kapok tree lanes are located around Lingziliao (County Road South 22), Jiachang (County Road South 21) near Jiajiang Junior High School, and nearby streets (County Roads South 20 and South 24), where fiery red kapok-lined paths stretch for about 2 kilometers. It is recommended to take the Tainan Bus Blue 1 or Blue 10 branch lines during the three-to-six-day consecutive holiday period to catch the last golden time to enjoy Jiajiang’s kapok blossom season.

To start your bus trip to the secret kapok tree lanes in Jiajiang, you can transfer to the Blue 1 branch line at Jiali Transfer Station and get off at “Lingziliao Station,” then walk about 200 meters to the kapok tree lane on County Road South 22; alternatively, take the Blue 10 branch line and get off at either “Lingziliao Station” or “Jiajiang Station,” then walk about 500 meters to reach the kapok tree lanes on County Roads South 21 and South 20.
