Slow Travel in Longtan Hakka Village, Encounter the Romantic Tung Blossom Festival

Northern Taiwan’s Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli regions are well-known Hakka villages, and the Longtan-Guanxi area still retains a strong Hakka cultural atmosphere to this day. Especially during April and May each year, when white tung blossoms decorate the rural hills and mountains, they attract visitors from all over Taiwan to come and enjoy this natural feast resembling a snowfall of blossoms. Located at the border between Longtan and Guanxi, the Aspire Park Hotel is surrounded by several popular tung blossom hiking trails. Due to climate variations and differing growth rates of each tung tree, the fully bloomed tung blossoms hanging on the treetops are like stars dotting the mountaintops, their delicate white and graceful forms capturing the eyes of many visitors.

To facilitate the spring travel and tung blossom viewing plans of the public, the Aspire Park Hotel has specially launched the “Tung Blossom Leisurely Escape” 2-day-1-night accommodation package from now until June 10th, the peak season for tung blossom viewing. The regular price is NT$2,730 per room. The package includes accommodation for two people, a vitality breakfast, and free access to the hotel’s sports and leisure facilities such as bicycles and Wii. A special complimentary Aspire Tung Blossom Picnic Mat is also included, allowing guests to sit on the ground in the outdoor ten-thousand-ping park, enjoy a leisurely picnic, and soak in the tranquility of a spring outing.
