Affected by the weather, cherry blossoms are still in full bloom this year, providing more flexibility for those who haven’t had the chance to enjoy them yet. With the upcoming long holiday, cherry blossoms are now in season at Yangmingshan National Park, Alishan, Aowanda, Wuling Farm, and even the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, which is easily accessible via MRT—making all of them excellent choices for blossom viewing.

● Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
The cherry blossom grove at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a great urban spot for spring flower viewing. Over 200 cherry trees bloom in succession, and it’s very convenient to get there via MRT. On the right side facing the memorial hall, near the Daxiao Gate, there is a large area of Shuuzenji Kawazu-zakura with soft pink hues that are especially beautiful in late February. Towards the back of the main hall, you can admire Oshima cherry, Kawazu-zakura, and large areas of mountain cherry forests. On the left side facing the memorial hall, near the Dazhong Gate, there are also Taihaku cherry blossoms. The garden on the side of Aiguo East Road features vividly colored double-flowered cherry blossoms. The flower bed in the rainwater collection area has a stone monument called “Friendship Cherry,” where seven varieties of Japanese cherry blossoms are planted; the large lawns on both sides of the felt flowerbed are planted with two types of cherry trees: Sunlight and Kawazu-zakura.

● Aowanda

Aowanda in Nantou is home to thousands of cherry trees. Pink mountain cherries kick off the blossom season from late January to early February, followed by bright red double-flowered cherry blossoms in February, and finally the pure white Mt. Yoshino cherry blossoms that steal the show until mid-March. Recently, one of the most stunning cherry blossom sights in Aowanda is the double-flowered cherry blossoms at the Aowanda Sha Yin (No. 2) parking lot, where they bloom in full glory like a massive pink screen—a breathtaking view many netizens call the most beautiful parking lot in Taiwan.

● Wuling Farm
The cherry blossom season at Wuling Farm was originally scheduled to end on the 22nd, but due to delayed blooming caused by the weather, you can still see cherry blossoms blooming until the end of February. Meanwhile, the traffic control and evacuation period has been extended to February 29th, with a daily visitor limit of 6,000 people—1,800 of whom are staying overnight, and 4,200 are day-trippers.

● Yangmingshan National Park

Yangmingshan is now in its floral season, running until March 20th. In addition to peonies in full bloom, there are also thousands of daffodils gradually coming into flower. This year, due to the weather, cherry blossoms have bloomed later, with the mountain cherry season continuing through March. Currently, double-flowered cherry blossoms are also in full bloom.
