1. Xuejia Hollyhock Flowers
Every year from mid-to-late March to April is the blooming season for hollyhocks in Xuejia, Tainan. Visitors who want to admire the flowers can head to the Guanghua Li community in Xuejia. Unlike other places that mainly feature cosmos or sunflower seas, the 5.5-hectare hollyhock field here, commonly known as “Red as One Zhang,” features tall blooms that make you feel as if you’ve stepped into a real flower forest. The sight is truly breathtaking, and April is the best time to enjoy the flowers—so be sure to plan your visit then.

2. Ergangzi Wheat Field
Tainan’s Xuejia is home to Taiwan’s largest wheat field, spanning 206 hectares. Thanks to the area’s saline soil, it’s particularly well-suited for growing wheat. Every March, when the wheat ripens, the golden stalks swaying in the wind glisten brilliantly under the sun, creating a picturesque scene.

3. Graceful Farmer Art & Cultural Farm
The Graceful Farmer Art & Cultural Farm was founded by a group of passionate young people. Leveraging their expertise in art and aesthetics, they transformed the rural space into a creative hub where visitors of all ages can learn about the origins of their food while enjoying an imaginative environment.

4. Kapok Flower Avenue
The Lin Chupi Kapok Flower Avenue in Baihe District is ranked among the world’s top 15 most beautiful flower-walking paths. Every March, when the kapok flowers are in full bloom, the fiery red blooms stretching hundreds of meters attract many visitors. It’s a perfect spot for taking photos and enjoying the flowers, making it an ideal destination for a holiday getaway.
