As spring transitions into summer, seas of flowers are blooming across Taiwan. In Neihu’s Baishihu, known as the backyard garden of Taipei, golden daylilies and white lilies are currently in full bloom, creating a stunning contrast of orange and white. The flowering season is expected to last until early June, so now is the perfect time to enjoy the blooms over a weekend getaway.

In recent years, Baishihu has designed the “Heart Lake” and “Eternal Bond Pavilion” with the theme of “happiness,” forming an image of “tying the knot.” The lakeside is planted with pure and elegant lilies, symbolizing a mother’s great love embracing her child. When sunlight shines on the spotless white lilies, a faint, refreshing fragrance fills the air, leaving beautiful memories in people’s hearts. It has become a popular spot for couples to take photos and leave tokens of their love.

Additionally, with the completion of the Baishihu Suspension Bridge, the entire leisure and recreation route has been seamlessly connected. Attractions such as the “Heart Lake,” “Eternal Bond Pavilion,” “Guizhui Pond,” “Couple Trees,” and “Spring-Autumn Trail” are now linked together, successfully transforming the urban-rural landscape. Moreover, to make flower viewing more convenient and safe for visitors, a pedestrian-vehicle separation project was recently completed on the road above the Heart Lake. The railings feature a design of double hearts paired with green leaves forming a flower—the red double hearts echo the Heart Lake, radiating an atmosphere of happiness, while the pink flowers symbolize a vibrant plant environment and the green leaves highlight the rich rural charm.
