By / MOOK Scenic Spots Home Travel Life Network Editorial Team, compiled and reported

March’s peach and plum blossoms have faded, but wisteria flowers are now in full bloom to continue welcoming visitors. The “Wisteria Season” in Rueili, Chiayi County, runs from March 10 to April 10. The sight of graceful wisteria blossoms swaying gently in the breeze is a unique and beautiful scenery that can only be found in Rueili, Meishan Township, Chiayi County. In addition, this is also the season when fireflies appear in Alishan. Both the wisteria blooms and the fireflies are expected to peak around mid-March. Travelers planning to enjoy both flower viewing and firefly spotting should hurry up and plan their holidays soon.

The Wisteria Season in Rueili, Chiayi, is the result of joint promotion and effort by the community’s homestay operators. In 2014, under a budget allocated by Chiayi County Government for promotion, a celebrity was invited to endorse the event, which became an instant hit and attracted many flower lovers. This year, the momentum continues as the Wisteria Season is held again. During the event period (March 10 to April 10), visitors who come to admire the flowers and stay at local homestays can enjoy special discounts and gifts.
