1.Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village
The Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village boasts over 5,000 cherry blossom trees that bloom successively every spring, painting the park's hillsides in shades of pink. Strolling through the falling petals feels like stepping into a romantic movie scene. You can also take a ride in a traditional Japanese rickshaw from Asakusa or dress up in a yukata to admire the scenery along the way, as if traveling back in time to Japan’s Edo period. The highlight of the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village Sakura Festival is the nighttime cherry blossom view—colorful and dazzling, leaving visitors enchanted.
