The Wushantou Reservoir Scenic Area in Tainan has planted thousands of flowers, including eight-petaled cherry blossoms, southern ylang blossoms, and Kawazu-zakura. Since early March, these blooms have gradually come into full flower, painting the reservoir’s landscape with clusters of delicate pink hues. From March 1 to March 29, the Jianshan Water Conservancy Association is also hosting a cherry blossom festival, inviting visitors to come and experience this floral pilgrimage!

Upon entering the Wushantou Reservoir in Tainan, pink eight-petaled cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the cherry blossom park. There are also nearly 100 southern ylang trees, each over 80 years old, lining the Champs-Élysées. These trees were personally planted by Yoichi Hatta and his wife. Now towering and majestic, they sway gently in the breeze, seemingly waving hello to flower-viewing visitors. The breathtaking scenery inspires visitors to capture the moment, competing to take photos with the beautiful blossoms.
