Every year from April to May is the blooming season of tung blossoms. Strolling along flower-covered paths where snow-white petals float through the air creates a romantic and picturesque scene. The tung blossoms on Baguashan in Changhua are a great spot for viewing them in central Taiwan—no need to venture deep into the mountains. Along County Highway 139 of Baguashan, you can admire the beauty of snow-like blossoms fluttering down, and there are also many unique attractions worth visiting along the way.
