Travelers no longer have to endure a long journey to Hualien and Taitung to enjoy the golden needle flower fields—visitors can also take in the stunning sight of golden-hued golden needle flowers in Xinshe, Taichung. The optimal period for flower viewing is from May to August each year. When you come to Xinshe during the golden needle flower season, you can also savor dishes featuring these fragrant blossoms.

When you visit Xinshe, Taichung, you’ll find unique cafés and homestays. With the changing seasons, you can also enjoy colorful flower seas and slow down to embrace a leisurely time away from the city. Aside from golden needle flower fields that rival those in eastern Taiwan, you can also witness the magical sight of fireflies dancing across the night sky.

The golden needle flowers in Xinshe are planted in phases and bloom in stages, and with both lowland and highland varieties, you can still admire them until August. However, it’s recommended to check the flowering status before you go and follow regulations by not entering the flower fields to avoid trampling the plants. As golden needle flowers are sun-grown crops, visitors should take sun protection measures and stay hydrated.
