By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Aside from cherry blossom viewing in March, the romantic golden bell trees are also in full bloom. Whether it’s the yellow petals falling in the city or the golden tunnels framed by green mountains and clear waters, they captivate every passerby. The vibrant and brilliant bell trees burst into bloom like sunlight, decorating the streets and alleys of central, southern, and eastern Taiwan.

1. Chiayi – South Levee of Taibao River
The south levee of Taibao River has become a popular golden bell tree attraction in recent years. The blooming golden beauty has brought liveliness to the entire community, even causing major traffic jams. Currently, there is no traffic control in place, and the flood prevention road is bustling with vehicles and pedestrians—extra caution is advised when taking photos. Due to recent rainfall, the flower conditions have been subpar, with noticeable petal drop. Flower enthusiasts should time their visit accordingly.

2. Chiayi – Zhushan Waterfront Park
The golden bell trees at Zhushan Waterfront Park in Chiayi are also in full bloom. The golden, radiant blossoms paired with the beautiful red suspension bridge create a unique charm. However, recent rainfall has affected the floral display, with noticeable petal drop. Flower lovers should plan their visit accordingly.

3. Chiayi – From Anwan Bridge in Liujiao Township to Yuemei Pond Bridge in Xingang Township
The Anwan Bridge in Liujiao Township and the Yuemei Pond Bridge in Xingang Township feature one of the most beautiful flower tunnels in all of Taiwan. On one side is a tunnel of golden bell trees, and on the other is a tunnel of chinaberry trees, allowing flower enthusiasts to enjoy the spectacular sight of golden hues alongside lush greens tinged with purple.
