Taipei Also Has Hidden Flower Spots — Five Attractions to Rival Famous Sites

By / MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Taipei, often seen as a bustling metropolis, actually boasts many worthwhile flower sea spots. Below are five lesser-known flower-viewing areas in Taipei City, each of which rivals the well-known scenic beauty of other counties and cities. Travelers may want to consider them as options, and plan a visit during the weekend to enjoy the flowers — it's also a top choice for a spring outing.

1. Camphor Tree Trail
The Maokong Camphor Tree Trail offers different flower seas in various seasons, including golden and blue lupine fields and romantic bald cypress trees. The lupine sea covers approximately 1.5 hectares, with an open surrounding environment featuring rural elements such as oxcarts, waterwheels, and bicycles. Additionally, near the彩云 Pavilion amidst the flower sea stand several tall bald cypresses, making a stroll along the trail extremely relaxing and pleasant.

2. Baishihu Community

Located in Neihu, the Baishihu Community is also a great urban destination for flower viewing. In summer, golden daylilies and white lily seas bloom, while in winter, bright red poinsettias add color to the scenery. Visitors can also cross the Baishihu Suspension Bridge to overlook the mountain views and admire the beautiful Concentric Pools, making it an excellent choice for a spring outing.
