● Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
The cherry blossom grove at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a great urban spot for spring flower viewing. Over 200 cherry trees bloom in succession, and it’s very convenient to get there by MRT. On the right side facing the main hall, near the Daxiao Gate, there is a large area of Shuenshji Kanhi cherry blossoms with soft, delicate pink hues that are especially beautiful in late February. At the back of the main hall, you can admire varieties such as Taiyo Zakura and Kawazu Zakura, along with a vast area of mountain cherry trees. On the left side facing the hall, near the Dazhong Gate, you’ll find Ohkan Zakura. The garden on the side of Aiguo East Road features vividly colored double-flowered cherry blossoms. In the rainwater collection area’s flower beds, there is a stone tablet inscribed with “Friendship Cherry Trees,” where seven varieties of Japanese cherry blossoms are planted. The large lawns on both sides of the felt flower beds are home to Sunlight and Kawazu Zakura trees.

● Aowanda

Aowanda Scenic Area in Nantou is home to over a thousand cherry trees. Pink mountain cherry blossoms kick off the season from late January to early February, followed by vibrant double-flowered pink cherry blossoms in February, and finally the pure white Formosan cherry blossoms that appear as the season’s finale until mid-March. Recently, the most stunning cherry blossoms in Aowanda can be found at the Aowanda Sha-in (Second) Parking Lot, where double-flowered pink cherry blossoms bloom in full glory, resembling a massive pink screen—a breathtaking view many netizens have called the most beautiful parking lot in Taiwan.

● Wuling Farm
The cherry blossom season at Wuling Farm was originally scheduled to end on the 22nd, but due to delayed blooming caused by the weather, blossoms can still be seen at the end of February. The transport coordination period has also been extended to February 29th, with a daily visitor limit of 6,000 people—1,800 staying overnight and 4,200 on one-day group tours.

● Yangmingshan National Park

From now until March 20th, Yangmingshan welcomes its floral season. In addition to blooming peonies, thousands of daffodils are also gradually coming into bloom. This year, affected by the climate, cherry blossoms have delayed their bloom, and March is now the peak season for Yangmingshan mountain cherry trees. Double-flowered pink cherry blossoms are also in full bloom.
