Due to the effects of a warmer winter this year, the blooming of plum blossoms is slightly later than usual. Popular plum blossom viewing spots such as Nantou’s Xinyi Township always attract large crowds, and the Taoyuan’s Jiaobanshan Plum Blossom Season in the north is also a popular destination for both plum blossom viewing and picnicking. This time, Scenic Spots will introduce a hidden plum blossom spot in Nantou’s Guoxing Township — the Jiufen’ershan No. 7 Viewing Platform. Jiufen’ershan suffered a massive landslide during the 921 Earthquake, and the area was later developed into an earthquake memorial park. Currently...At Jiufen’ershan...The No. 7 Plum Blossom Village sees fewer visitors, making it a quiet hidden gem for appreciating plum blossoms. Below are aerial views of the No. 7 Plum Blossom Village, allowing travelers to witness the beauty of plum blossoms in full bloom.
