The Golden Needle Mountain in Taimali, Taitung County, is a highly anticipated golden needle flower holiday destination for travelers every August and September. Here, golden needle flowers climb the steep, undulating ridges of Golden Needle Mountain, where the cool and pleasant weather offers a mix of clear blue skies and misty vistas. From the heights, you can gaze at the sea meeting the sky alongside swaying golden flower seas – an annual floral spectacle you absolutely shouldn’t miss every summer.
