No need to drive far to enjoy cherry blossoms—just hop on the MRT to reach a “hidden cherry blossom spot”! Lehuo Park in Neihu District, near Donghu MRT Station, is about a 10-minute walk from the station. Additionally, every year from December to April is also the “Neihu Strawberry Season.” Exit from Exit 1 of Neihu MRT Station, walk to No. 452, Section 2, Neihu Road, in front of “Jiantou Fude Temple,” then transfer to Bus Xiao 2 to Bishan Road to reach the strawberry farms in Baishihu area. Recently, the cherry blossoms in Lehuo Park have been blooming one after another, and strawberries are also entering the harvest season. Take the opportunity to take the Wenhu Line of the MRT for a pink-hued “cherry blossom and strawberry picking trip.”

“Lehuo Park” was originally a bus terminal, later renovated into a park green space, located at the intersection of Donghu Road and Kangle Street, opposite Donghu Post Office, adjacent to the Neigou Creek. You can take the MRT to Donghu Station, exit via Section 3 of Kangning Road, turn right onto Donghu Road, and walk about 5 to 10 minutes to get there. The park also has attached children’s play facilities, making it a great destination for family outings. In addition to cherry blossoms at Lehuo Park, walking further up the middle and upper reaches of Neigou Creek, there are nearly 10 varieties of cherry blossoms. According to the on-site signs, there are varieties such as Botan Zakura, Yae Zakura, Showa Zakura, Yoshino Zakura, and Matsuyama Zakura, each with different blooming periods. Visitors can enjoy them from January to April.
