  The kapok trees at Lin Chuchi have begun to bloom, with nearly a thousand kapok trees lining both sides of a roughly one-kilometer-long industrial road. From mid-March to early April each year, they gradually burst into full bloom, and the current blooming rate has reached 80–90%. The vibrant red flowers bloom like fiery orbs, while the tall, sturdy branches interweave into a floral tunnel, attracting crowds eager to witness the charm of what's hailed as the world’s most beautiful flower road.

  Locals in Tainan also recommend the Jiajiang District kapok trees—not only does this area have the highest number of kapok trees in Taiwan, but the continuous sea of blossoms from multiple trees rivals the beauty of Lin Chuchi, making it a must-visit spot for flower enthusiasts.

Location: Around Lingziliao (South Route 22), Jiachangli (South Route 21), near Jiajiang Junior High School, and nearby streets (South Routes 20 and 24), featuring fiery red kapok avenues stretching approximately two kilometers

Xihu-Erlin Boundary in Changhua
  In the boundary area between Xihu and Erlin in Changhua, there is also an absolutely stunning “hidden kapok paradise.” This kapok avenue located in the middle of rice fields is a little-known gem for locals. Stretching about two kilometers, the avenue offers a distant view of rows of fiery red blooms and a close-up look at the exquisite blossoming posture of the kapok flowers. As spring warms up, the red kapok contrasts beautifully with the green grass, creating a particularly picturesque scene. A special reminder: visitors should help preserve the local environment—do not pick the flowers or plants, and take your trash with you.
