Spring at Aowanda is in full bloom, with thousands of Prunus campanulata, double-flowered cherry, and Mount Musha cherry trees blossoming successively. Currently, the mountain cherry blossoms in the cherry blossom area are nearly in full bloom, and soon the double-flowered cherry will follow. The flower-viewing season is expected to last until late February to early March. In addition to enjoying the blossoms, visitors can also explore Aowanda’s two distinctive trails — the Waterfall Trail and the Maple Forest Trail — which have recently reopened, offering multiple recreational options. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Aowanda’s mountains and forests while enjoying the dual benefits of phytoncides and negative ions.

It takes just 30 minutes to walk from the Aowanda Recreation Area Visitor Center to the Waterfall Trail via a single route, passing the Regulation Reservoir. There, you’ll find spectacular waterfalls, including a double-tiered cascade. Notably, the free-falling waterfall releases up to 45,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter, ranking second highest in Taiwan. The 1,045-meter-long Waterfall Trail offers a lush green forest environment and essential streams that nurture life, supplying oxygen and purifying the air — allowing you to bask in an environment rich with phytoncides.

Another highlight is the “Maple Forest Trail,” a 1,166-meter path that has recently reopened to visitors after renovation. This wide trail leads to the Forest Park and bird-watching platforms along the WanDa River. Towering sweet gum trees line the route — lush and verdant in spring and summer, and gradually turning golden yellow, then blushing into orange-red in autumn and winter. This trail is a poetic blend of romance and natural beauty.
