The Yangmingshan Flower Season has entered its peak blooming period and will conclude on March 9. Soon to follow is the Zhuzihu Calla Lily Season. Thanks to several days of sunshine, over 50% of the calla lilies have already blossomed. The Taipei City Department of Civil Engineering recommends five riverside trails surrounding the calla lily fields. Not only can you stroll through the white sea of flowers, but you can also wander through the mountains and forests, enjoying a refreshing encounter with nature.

Due to the rapid flow of upstream water in Zhuzihu, heavy rains used to cause severe erosion in the past. After restoration by the Department of Civil Engineering, the original agricultural pathways were preserved, creating five riverside trails that balance safety, scenery, and foliage: the “Dinghu Circular Trail,” “Calla Lily Circular Trail,” “Literary Trail,” “Hudi Circular Trail,” and “Zhuzihu Circular Trail.” These trails connect the five areas of Zhuzihu — Dinghu, Xiahu, Hudi, Donghu, and Shuiwei — each offering unique scenic beauty, making them perfect for a spring outing in early spring.

% Even without visiting the sea of calla lilies, you can still enjoy the fresh air and lush greenery of the mountain forests. Even in the city, you can experience a rare moment of tranquility.

If you want to admire vast fields of calla lilies, the spectacular scenery of Xiaoyoukeng, and the serene sight of egrets gliding through small terraced fields, the “Dinghu Circular Trail” is the best choice. With a gentle slope and a walking time of about 20 minutes, the “Calla Lily Circular Trail” is located in the Xiahu area and retains remnants of early farming life such as waterwheels, ecological ponds, and a circular splash area. A short 20-minute walk allows you to enjoy a rare rural leisure pace without venturing far from the city.

The “Literary Trail,” just a 10-minute walk away, follows a babbling stream and offers views of “small bridges, flowing water, and village houses,” along with a landscape of hills and terraced fields. If you wish to gaze at the calla lily fields on the hillside, the “Hudi Circular Trail” is your best bet, with a walking time of just 15 minutes.

The longest trail among them, the “Zhuzihu Circular Trail,” starts from Hutian Bridge and loops through Donghu, Dinghu, Shuiwei, and Xiahu. This mountain-surrounding trail allows you to take in the picturesque scenery of Zhuzihu in its entirety. It’s also the most time-consuming, requiring about 50 minutes of walking.
