The “most beautiful police station in Taiwan” has blossomed！Taichung’s Tai’an Police Station, covered with a sea of double-petal cherry trees, turns the entire street into a romantic pink wonderland when the flowers bloom, softening even the solemn look of the police building. Visitors planning to make a pilgrimage here during the holiday should closely monitor traffic controls to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip.

The Tai’an Cherry Blossom Season has officially begun. This 15-day romantic event draws large crowds of flower enthusiasts every year. Currently, about 30% of the cherry blossoms have bloomed. Due to the narrow rural roads, traffic controls will be enforced during the blossom season. Police also remind visitors that, with large crowds expected, those wishing to witness the police station surrounded by romantic cherry blossoms should follow traffic regulations and make use of shuttle buses to avoid traffic jams.
