When thinking of viewing cherry blossoms at Yangmingshan, besides the popular Pingjing Street Lane 42, Pingjing Street Lane 93’s Neicuo Creek Sakura Corridor is also an absolutely stunning spot where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The Orange Café located here recently has been surrounded by an explosion of Yoshino cherry blossoms, instantly transforming the café into a pink wonderland.

Neicuo Creek offers a tranquil environment, perfect for visitors to go for a stroll. Thanks to this year’s favorable climate conditions, the cherry blossom conditions around Neicuo Creek and the Orange Café area are particularly good. The beautiful pinkish-white Yoshino cherry blossoms are in full bloom, turning the ordinary riverside trail into yet another new hot spot for cherry blossom viewing on Yangmingshan.

The cherry blossom trees planted at Orange Café have been growing for several years, and it is only thanks to the careful tending by the owners that we can enjoy such beautiful sakura scenery today. In the future, more varieties of cherry blossoms will be introduced to enrich the sakura landscape at Neicuo Creek. The café charges a NT$100 entry fee, which can be used as a credit toward lunch or afternoon tea. Meals are offered by reservation only and consist of organic à la carte dishes.
