Taipei Lunar New Year itinerary +1！ Besides visiting Yangmingshan to see cherry blossoms, you can also cycle in the city’s riverside parks for some exercise, enjoy the sea of flowers, and take beautiful photos. Taipei has three riverside parks covered in floral tapestries, each with its own unique theme and features. Come and find out where these flower seas are！

Huanshan Riverside Park
Located on the left bank of the Keelung River, Huanshan Riverside Park features a “fireworks”-themed flower sea between Mai Shuai Bridge 1 and Mai Shuai Bridge 2. Composed of nearly 80,000 pots of brightly contrasting flowers such as purple statice, yellow marguerites, and impatiens, they are arranged into blooming fireworks, also carrying the auspicious meaning of “prosperity through blooming flowers.” It’s both festive and dazzling！

Among the flower sea, there are also colorful flywheels made from recycled bicycle rims. The various colors of the flywheels also symbolize the imagery of fireworks, while showcasing the completed bicycle network in the riverside park. You might as well cycle while admiring this beautiful flower sea！
