As the weather cools and autumn winds blow, the flower fields near Sanchun Old Tree in Huatan, Changhua, are also bursting into colorful bloom. A vast sea of purple tiger lilies looks stunningly romantic from afar and healingly cute up close—it’s currently their peak blooming period.

In the farmland near Sanchun Old Tree, about 4 to 6 acres of painted rice fields and tiger lilies are planted. The blooming tiger lilies, with their long, fluffy flower spikes, resemble cats’ furry tails and are thus also called cat-tail flowers. They are often referred to as gomphrena as well. In addition to purple cat-tail flowers, which are often mistaken for lavender, there are also other colors such as deep pink, white, and purplish-red.

The Sanchun flower fields are planted with zinnias, purple gomphrena, daylilies, and soon will see the rare blooming of Hokkaido sunflowers and Taiwan-grown sunflower seas. Next to the flower fields is a “painted rice field,” which will remain until mid-November—perfect for families, friends, and couples to visit Huatan together. The flower fields are also next to a “painted rice field.”

This year, the painted rice fields feature the theme of the Earth God Grandpa and Baishakeng lantern floats, incorporating elements of the Year of the Dog. Yellow, purple, white, and green rice seedlings are planted to outline patterns in the fields. A temporary elevated viewing platform has also been set up to offer a broader and clearer view, allowing visitors to gaze at the auspicious and festive Earth God Grandpa.
