Spring is the season when flowers bloom in full splendor. In addition to cherry blossoms, the purple wisteria cascading like flowing silk is also one of the stars of the floral season. There are many wisteria viewing spots across Taiwan, including Tamsui Wisteria Café, Alishan, Taoyuan, and more, where you can see vast seas of purple wisteria climbing along corridors, forming dreamy purple tunnels.

2. Taipei – Taipei Flower Village
Located on Yanping North Road in Shilin, Taipei, Taipei Flower Village was originally a dusty gravel site. After careful planning, the area has transformed from a gravel pit into a vibrant flower village through planting, landscaping, and dedicated care. Now it features facilities such as an orchid boutique, garden plant market, supply center, café, and restaurant, becoming a fragrant and green Taipei Flower Village.

The Wisteria Café Garden in Tamsui, New Taipei City, is hailed as the most beautiful wisteria garden in Taiwan.
