The cherry blossom season is gradually coming to an end, and most cherry blossom viewing spots across Taiwan are currently at their best for blossom appreciation. Along Xing She Street in Xinshe, Taichung, a profusion of fully bloomed Fuji cherry trees has emerged. The Fuji cherry is a grafted variety combining Taiwan’s mountain cherry and Japan’s mountain cherry, featuring a pinkish hue, densely clustered buds, and abundant stamens. The row of cherry blossom trees along Xing She Street not only blooms spectacularly but also grows in great density, presenting a rare and breathtaking cherry blossom spectacle. Visitors can seize the opportunity during holidays and good weather to admire the romantic scene of pink cherry blossom petals falling like rain.
