No need to hike up mountains or travel far — the closest urban cherry blossom viewing spot in Taiwan, Hsinchu Park, is easily accessible by car. With over a thousand cherry trees now covered in buds, they are expected to bloom in mid-to-late February. Currently, more than 60% of the blossoms have opened. The blooming periods of different cherry varieties (such as Fuji cherry) may even extend to mid-April if not affected by heavy rain.

Hsinchu Park is home to over 1,000 cherry trees of more than 20 varieties. Around 70% are Kawazu-zakura, along with bright red mountain cherries, double-petal yaezakura, Fuji cherries, Yoshino cherries, and even rarer varieties like Giokuro, Baika, and Yang Guifei cherries. There’s also a unique unnamed new variety, cultivated by volunteers through grafting — half Kawazu-zakura and half Taiwan mountain cherry — which is a rare sight not easily found elsewhere.
