Every year when spring arrives, delicate pink cherry blossoms gradually bloom, covering the world before your eyes in a sweeping sea of pink and white. In the Taipei area, there are many hidden spots for viewing mountain cherry blossoms. You don’t have to drive up into the mountains, deal with traffic jams, or fight the crowds. For example, from Fuxing 4th Road where Beitou Fuxing High School is located, heading up to Fuxing 3rd Road all the way to in front of White House Villa, within just a few minutes’ drive, you can see cherry blossom trees lining both sides of the road.Every year around mid-February, when the flowers are in full bloom, this short stretch of about three to four hundred meters transforms into a cherry blossom avenue. The pink floral sea creates a delightful scene that captivates visitors and makes even this short stretch hard to leave.
