Visitors to Daxi Flower Sea Farm are greeted by vast fields of colorful blooms. Known for providing floral backdrops for numerous idol dramas such as "Corner with Love," "Green Forest," and "They Are Flying," the farm is planted with vibrant flowers of all kinds. Each season, different seasonal blooms are introduced, filling the entire area with lively energy. Stepping into the farm feels like entering a European-style garden, brimming with the romance of idol drama settings.



However, if you only come to Daxi Flower Sea to admire the flowers, you’re missing out on the unique charm of the "magical flower." Located in the DIY area classroom of the farm, these magical dried flowers from Japan possess a special moisture-sensing technology. When the environment becomes humid, the buds close up; but on warm, sunny, and dry days, the flowers bloom — it’s truly magical.

Step into the farm’s classroom, and staff will first hand each visitor a small bundle of magical flowers and an egg-shaped glass bottle. With a variety of colors to choose from, you can freely cut the magical flowers to size and arrange them in the bottle. During this simple DIY activity, you can observe up close these "magical flowers," no bigger than a fingernail. These lifelike blossoms seem to breathe along with environmental changes inside the bottle, almost as if they have their own life. It also helps people become more aware of air humidity levels, keeping you feeling refreshed and energized.
