Early spring cherry blossom viewing has become a popular leisure activity across Taiwan in recent years. Among the various cherry blossom spots in the country, National Chi Nan University’s cherry blossom grove stands out as one of the best, thanks to its open, scenic, and flat terrain that is accessible and enjoyable for all age groups. Covering an area of 150 hectares, the university campus is surrounded by green mountains and blue skies. On its 20-hectare grassy field, thousands of Taiwan mountain cherry blossoms and Japanese double-flowered cherries have begun to bloom beautifully, creating a scene reminiscent of wandering into a secluded paradise.

The National Chi Nan University Cherry Blossom Season event is scheduled to take place from January 23 to February 21, 2016 (around Lunar New Year), in the university’s cherry blossom grove. The event will combine “cherry blossoms” with “Chinese tea ceremony,” inviting both domestic and international visitors to “enjoy fine tea and admire cherry blossoms” under the shade of thousands of blooming trees, and to spend a romantic and colorful cozy afternoon.
