The pink cherry blossom season is coming to an end, and the romantic wisteria flowers are taking over in full bloom. Wisteria across Taiwan is also gradually entering its peak flowering period. Ohana Café in Xihu Township, Miaoli, is a stunning hidden gem for wisteria viewing. The venue features vast wisteria trellises, along with a newly added beautiful sea of purple umbrellas — a highlight this year — making it a great spot for visitors to enjoy delicious food and admire the blossoms.

Every spring during the wisteria season, Ohana Café turns into a purple paradise. In addition to the wisteria blooms, even the decorations are predominantly purple, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere. Late March to early April is the best time to view the flowers, so flower enthusiasts should plan their visit accordingly.

As you enter the café grounds, there’s a short slope where you can admire cute murals and fairy-tale-like landscaping along the walls. Once you reach the garden area of the café, you’ll be greeted by expansive clusters of wisteria flowers. With good lighting and beautiful scenery, it feels as if you’ve stepped into a purple fairy tale.
