In spring, as various flowers bloom — from delicate pink cherry blossoms and purple wisteria to graceful azaleas — another seasonal wonder begins: the "April Snow." Before the tung blossoms appear, pure white Euptelea polyandra blossoms burst into bloom, covering the trees in central and northern Taiwan with a layer of snow-white petals. As they fall, they resemble soft cotton, creating an exquisitely beautiful scene.

Every April, in locations such as Taipei’s Zhongzheng District 228 Peace Park, Shilin District Shilin Official Residence Park, Qian’gang Park, Flower Research Center, Nangang District Nangang Park, Neihu District Tanmei Park, Bihhu Park, and Baishihu, the snow-white Euptelea polyandra blossoms always attract visitors who pause to enjoy their romantic ambiance.

5. Taoyuan – Shimen Reservoir Administration
Located in Taoyuan, the Shimen Reservoir Administration area features expansive green lawns, perfect for picnics and family outings. In April, what looks like an ordinary grove suddenly transforms as snow-like blossoms blanket the treetops, making it one of the most stunning Euptelea polyandra viewing spots in northern Taiwan. Visitors can enjoy a meal under the trees or relax over tea and conversation, soaking in a leisurely afternoon.
