The plum garden in Zhongyuan Tribe, Ren'ai Township, is home to native species of plum trees. Unlike the popular Huiguandou area, the plum trees here are taller. Zhongyuan Tribe mainly has two plum blossom viewing areas. The first is located behind Mutual Aid Elementary School at the 3.5 km marker on Route 80. By following the small path uphill from the school parking lot and walking for about five minutes, you’ll come across a hillside covered with tall, graceful plum trees.
