It’s here — the Wuling Cherry Blossom Season has arrived. With cherry blossoms blooming across the country, the central Taiwan hotspot Wuling Farm currently has 50 to 60% of its cherry blossoms in bloom. According to Wuling Farm, the flowers will be in full bloom on February 18 and 19. However, the farm only allows 6,000 visitors per day and has implemented traffic controls, so visitors should stay updated before heading up the mountain.

Despite days of cloudy and rainy weather, Wuling’s cherry blossoms remain unaffected, with the “Red Pink Lady” variety still in full bloom. The farm roadsides are covered in pink and peach-colored cherry blossoms. The farm stated that visitors can enter for viewing from now until the 24th. During the flower season, daily visitor numbers are limited to 6,000, including 1,800 staying guests and 4,200 day-trippers using public transport. Staying guests must present a vehicle pass issued by Wuling Farm to enter.
