A sea of snow-white blossoms blankets the mountains and forests – a hidden gem for plum blossom viewing in full bloom

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Department

Aside from popular plum blossom destinations such as Xinyi Township and Jiupan Mountain, the hidden gem “No. 7 Plum Manor at Jiufen Second Mountain” in Guoxing Township, Nantou, showcases a sea of blooming plum blossoms that resemble a blanket of snow over the mountains and forests. This breathtaking view frequently draws throngs of visitors eager to witness the beauty of the snowy white plum sea.

Jiufen Second Mountain experienced a massive landslide during the 921 Earthquake, after which it was developed into an earthquake memorial park. With the arrival of cold fronts and consecutive days of rain, this year’s plum blossoms are in particularly good condition. When visiting Nantou for plum blossom viewing, in addition to areas like Wusong and Niuchoukeng in Xinyi Township, visitors might also want to check out No. 7 Plum Manor to admire the plum groves.

The road leading to No. 7 Plum Manor at Jiufen Second Mountain is narrow and steep, with some sections only wide enough for one vehicle, making passing difficult. Plum blossom visitors are advised to stay alert and mindful of safety.
