Golden Tunnel in Dreamlike Bloom: Five Must-Visit Golden Trumpet Tree Spots

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

March is not only the season for cherry blossoms, but also when the romantic golden trumpet trees burst into bloom. Whether it's the golden petals drifting through city streets or the golden tunnels framed by lush green mountains and clear waters, they make every visitor pause and admire. The dazzling, sun-like explosion of trumpet tree blossoms decorates the streets and alleys across central, southern, and eastern Taiwan.

1. Chiayi – South Levee of Taibao River
The south levee of Taibao River has become a viral golden trumpet tree attraction in recent years. The breathtaking golden blooms have brought lively energy to the entire neighborhood, even causing major traffic jams. Currently, there is no traffic control in place, and the flood prevention road remains bustling with vehicles and pedestrians—so stay extra cautious when taking photos. Due to recent rainfall, the floral display is subpar, with noticeable petal drop. Flower enthusiasts should adjust their timing accordingly.

2. Chiayi – Zhushan Waterfront Park
The golden trumpet trees at Zhushan Waterfront Park have also bloomed magnificently. The golden-yellow splendor, paired with a beautiful red suspension bridge, creates a uniquely charming scene. However, the flower condition has been affected by several days of rain, with noticeable petal fall. Visitors hoping to see the full bloom should plan their trip accordingly.

3. Chiayi – From Anwan Bridge in Liujiao Township to Yuemei Pond Bridge in Xingang Township
Anwan Bridge in Liujiao Township and Yuemei Pond Bridge in Xingang Township feature one of the most beautiful flower tunnels in Taiwan. On one side is a golden trumpet tree tunnel, and on the other is a chinaberry tree tunnel, allowing visitors to enjoy the spectacular view of golden hues alongside lush purplish-green foliage in one go.
