With spring in full bloom, Hsinchu’s “Eighteen Peaks Mountain Flower Appreciation Month” has officially launched in March. Every year, this event attracts many visitors to enjoy the floral scenery. During the festival, the mountains are covered in a profusion of colorful blossoms. Along the flower-viewing trails, you can admire a variety of vibrant flowers while also planning hiking activities—making it a truly delightful experience.

During the Eighteen Peaks Mountain Flower Appreciation Month, the organizers also host a “Jogging in the Forest” activity every weekday morning, inviting everyone to come up the mountain to enjoy the flowers and breathe in the forest’s fresh air. Additionally, every Saturday, you can book the “Eighteen Peaks Mountain Flower World” guided tour to deeply experience the mountain’s scenic beauty, appreciate its intellectual charm, and even visit the Gravity Reference Station, which is specially opened for the Flower Appreciation Month. Every March, the Eighteen Peaks Mountain always welcomes crowds of visitors. Currently, the mountain’s parking lot is undergoing waterproofing improvements, so flexible traffic controls will be in place at the event site. Visitors are encouraged to take the Blue 1 District city bus and get off at “Shuiyuan Di,” then walk to Eighteen Peaks Mountain.
