The Sanzhi Cherry Blossom Festival kicked off on March 24 along the Sansheng Trail in Sanzhi District, New Taipei City. Thanks to systematic cherry tree planting over the past decade, there are now a total of 16,000 cherry trees, creating a stunning sea of blossoms every March.

The Sanzhi Cherry Blossom Festival attracts large crowds of flower-viewing tourists every year. (Photo / 2018 New Taipei Sanzhi Cherry Blossom Festival, the same applies to the following images)

The Sansheng Trail alone boasts over 200 Yoshino cherry trees. When in full bloom, the romantic spring blossoms, paired with the small bridges and flowing streams alongside the trail, create unforgettable scenery for visitors.

In addition to cherry blossom viewing, the festival also features the “Spring Blossoms Deliver Love” event. Participants who collect stamps during the blossom tour have a chance to win a “Sanzhi Limited Edition Cherry Blossom Postcard Set.” Mailing is free of charge on-site (one per person), with a limited quantity of 1,000 sets available.

Other activities such as the “Sakura Love Photography Contest” and the cherry blossom market allow visitors to submit their own works and enjoy local food and shopping at the market, along with a radish-pulling experience.

Sanzhi’s cherry blossom season begins with mountain cherry blossoms, followed by double-layered yaezakura in late February to early March, and ends with the iconic Yoshino cherries — their white petals tinged with hints of crimson — leaving the most beautiful memories of the spring blossom season.
