Recently, the golden rice fields of Wangyou Valley in Waipu, Taichung, have sparked a photography craze. Aside from admiring the lush green mosaic of the land, there’s also a small patch of pink flowers in full bloom beside the tung blossom trail at Shuiliudong, Waipu – this is the Ginger Lily Farm. Ginger lilies are tropical bulbous flowers that thrive in warm, humid temperate climates. In Taiwan, their blooming season is roughly from June to October. With their unique flower shapes, vivid colors, and long flowering period, they are highly favored in both Japan and Taiwan. Entry to the flower fields is free, and there are floral bouquets for sale nearby. Visitors can take some flowers home after enjoying the sea of blossoms, but please avoid stepping on the flower beds while admiring them.
