When it comes to cherry blossom “secret spots,” we’re talking about places that very few people know about. Let us let you in on a little secret — in Yangmei, Taoyuan,there’s the Eastern TV Mountain Resort.There, you’ll find an excellent cherry blossom viewing spot: nearly 60 Okame cherry trees form a whole grove of cherry blossoms, hidden away in a peaceful paradise within a vast ecological forest. Very few people know about it. The cherry trees, which were only transplanted here earlier this year, are now getting ready for their first bloom of spring. So, calling this place a cherry blossom secret spot is no exaggeration at all.

Flower viewing should be a leisurely and relaxing experience — don’t rush through it and miss out on the beauty of nature. That’s why, during this flower-blooming season, the Eastern TV Mountain Resort has specially launched the “Million Dollar Return Gourmet 2-Day Double Pack.” It offers great value so that families can come to the resort together to enjoy delicious food, admire cherry blossoms, and soak in hot springs. Even better, if you check in on weekdays, you can get a free upgrade to a 4-person room, and the meal portions are even increased to serve four. The original price of the package was 21,030 NTD, but now it’s slashed to just 2.8% of that — only 5,980 NTD lets a family of four enjoy the cherry blossoms together.
