The snow-white blooming season of the tung tree is gradually coming to an end, so visitors should hurry to admire the tung blossoms covering the mountains and fields. The Shuangfeng Mountain in Miaoli is one of the must-visit spots during the annual tung blossom season. In addition to hiking and enjoying the blossoms, you can also admire the golden-yellow love trees. The vibrantly blooming love trees, bright and eye-catching, cover the mid-to-low altitude mountain ranges, not allowing the snow-white tung blossoms to steal the spotlight alone. The following photos were taken at Shuang... [incomplete location], where you can also find many picturesque spots. You can capture the natural scenery, as well as the contrast and harmony between the tung blossoms and the love trees. The experience is deeply moving.

Love trees, also known as Taiwan acacia, have delicate and dense foliage. When viewed from afar, entire groves of love trees resemble piles of green clouds. Their flowering period is from April to June each year, displaying spherical flower heads similar to those of the sensitive plant—many tiny flowers clustered into small round balls, vibrant and yellow.
