The cold winter is coming to an end. From plum blossoms to cherry blossoms, and the beautiful, colorful tulips quietly blooming, spring has arrived. The tulip season in Taiwan spans from December until the end of March. Among the top spots to admire tulips are Taoyuan Valley, Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market, and Nantou’s Shanlinxi, which each year attract many flower enthusiasts who flock there by name.

● Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market
Located in Houli District, Taichung City, Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market is the only flower market in central Taiwan successfully cultivating tulips at low altitudes. This year’s flowers include over 50 varieties totaling about 200,000 tulips imported from the Netherlands. They have been in full bloom since the beginning of this period and will continue through mid-March. Not to be outdone by the tulips, the 5-hectare garden is also planted with various seasonal flowers, including lilies, pink salvia, scarlet sage, roses, and other plants, creating a romantically blooming European-style garden.

● Nantou’s Shanlinxi
Nantou County’s Zhushan Township is home to the Shanlinxi Forest Recreation Area, situated at an altitude of 1,600 meters. Its climate is perfect for cultivating tulips, and combined with the fresh, clean forest environment, the blooming tulips are exceptionally vibrant. The flowering period lasts approximately 20 to 25 days. Right now, it's peak tulip season at Shanlinxi, with the sea of flowers continuing until late February. Then, in March, the area will also welcome peony season and Wushe Cherry Blossom Season—making this a perfect time to visit Shanlinxi.
