Every early summer, when the snow-white tung flowers are in full bloom, tung blossom festivals kick off across Taiwan. Among them, Miaoli County—home to a large Hakka population and blessed with convenient transportation—hosts vibrant tung blossom events in towns such as Sanyi and Nanzhuang, establishing itself as the true “Land of Tung Blossoms.” The “2010 Miaoli Hakka Tung Blossom Festival Opening Ceremony and Tung Blossom Concert” was grandly held, and at this year’s “Taipei International Travel Fair,” the theme “Loving the Mountain City, Tongyou Miaoli” was showcased to highlight Miaoli’s unique beauty.

The event’s thematic pavilion will feature five major highlights of Miaoli, including the much-anticipated Tai’an Hot Springs and the romantic Tung Blossom Ancient Trail, exquisite wood carving crafts that showcase refined local artistry, and numerous leisure farms. Most notably, the “2011 Taiwan Lantern Festival” will be held in Miaoli, with the venue decorated with large red lanterns and promoted under the slogan “Centennial Nation Building, Taiwan Lantern Festival in Miaoli” to create a lively atmosphere and warmly invite the public to join this spectacular Miaoli tourism event.

During the travel fair, the event kicked off with Miaoli County Magistrate lighting the large red lantern, followed by activities such as “Puppeteer Xin’s New Tricks” storytelling, “Dancing Mountain City, Bursting with Energy” international ballroom dance performances, and a “Tea Ceremony Exhibition” highlighting Miaoli’s tea culture, inviting guests to enjoy the flavors of tea. There were also free tastings of Hakka cuisine, a travel goods showcase, and a lucky draw offering locally crafted gifts.

To help visitors explore Miaoli’s mountain scenery smoothly, the Miaoli County Government’s Bureau of International Culture and Tourism has printed 60,000 copies of the “Tongyou Miaoli Guide Passport” for free distribution. The passport compiles information on tung blossom trails, tung blossom souvenirs, festival events, as well as food, accommodation, and transportation across Miaoli. It not only allows tourists to fully enjoy the beauty of falling tung blossoms but also helps them plan a complete itinerary. During the tung blossom festival, visitors can visit any of the designated tung blossom trails in the passport, take a selfie at the specified photo spot, and paste it in the passport. By completing visits and photos at 3, 5, or 10 spots, you can exchange your passport for different gifts at the Miaoli County Tourism Service Center.
