Taiwan’s renowned flower sea destination, Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market, is a favorite spot for flower enthusiasts. As autumn and winter arrive, the beautiful purple sage flowers and towering sunflowers are must-shoot subjects for many visitors.
With Taichung set to host the 2018 Taichung World Flora Exposition (trial operation in September 2018, official opening in November), traffic planning, crowd control, and vehicle management for the 2017 Xinshe Flower Sea will be crucial arrangements and tests. Entering its 12th year, the Xinshe Flower Sea Festival continues to roll out various activities to attract flower-loving visitors for sightseeing, photography, and rural leisure experiences.
