European-style gardens without leaving the country: Four top tulip seas to visit

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

When the weather is nice during the holidays, consider heading outdoors for a walk. Why not visit the suburbs to enjoy a floral excursion? Currently in tulip season, we’ve rounded up four tulip sea spots across Taiwan. Each location offers scenery akin to Holland’s Keukenhof Gardens, where vast lawns are covered with vibrant tulips in full bloom—a breathtaking sight that’s hard to forget.

1. Taichung – Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market
The Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market in Taichung has introduced over 50 varieties of tulips, totaling 600,000 plants. The tulip garden, featuring a spectrum of colors including pink, yellow, white, and peach, along with the large windmills on the grounds, creates a beautiful European landscape painting. It’s a must-visit flower spot in central Taiwan.

2. Nantou – Shanlinxi Forest Ecological Resort

The tulip season at Shanlinxi has begun, and the resort has introduced a rich variety of tulips. The brightly colored petals are almost too beautiful to be real, rivaling the vibrancy of European gardens. Paired with the windmill scenery within the park, it exudes a romantic foreign charm. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the maple and metasequoia forests here, creating a romantic setting straight out of a idol drama.
