As the year draws to a close and winter sets in, Miaoli’s Dahhu Strawberry Season has officially kicked off. The peak strawberry harvest season typically runs from December to April each year. In addition to Dahhu Township, nearby areas such as Sanyi Township, Zhuolan Town, and Shitan Township also offer fun-filled strawberry tours, along with opportunities to explore historic streets and hot spring destinations along the way.

The peak strawberry season coincides with major holidays and travel peaks throughout the year, including Christmas, New Year’s Eve, winter vacation, Lunar New Year, and Valentine’s Day. These occasions add even more charm to the sweet taste of strawberries. Whether you're a sweet couple on a trip together, a group of friends, or the whole family, picking and tasting strawberries in Dahhu is one of the happiest and sweetest choices for winter!

Among all fruits, strawberries have a certain unique charm—not just because they’re deliciously sweet. Their vibrant red color and slightly tangy sweetness also spark thoughts of romance. At Dahhu Winery, you can not only eat strawberries but also enjoy a variety of creative strawberry dishes, including strawberry sausages, strawberry-glazed pork, or the sweet and locally distinctive strawberry wine.

To make your strawberry-picking experience even more enjoyable, it’s best to go as early as possible to avoid the crowds on weekends and holidays—and to ensure the big, red strawberries haven’t already been picked. Additionally, arriving in Dahhu early allows you to visit nearby attractions in the afternoon, such as Tai’an Hot Springs, Taihu Hot Springs, and Hushan Hot Springs, all of which are perfect for a cold winter day. These hot springs are carbonated, colorless, and odorless—renowned as “beauty springs.” On the way to Tai’an Hot Springs, you’ll pass through the famous Qing’an Tofu Street, located at the confluence of the Wenshui and Xishui creeks. The street is arranged in a Y-shape, quiet and quaint, where you can enjoy various delicious tofu dishes and Hakka specialty snacks, making for a rich and fulfilling one-day itinerary in Miaoli.
