In 2014, the Zhuzihhu Bluebell Festival series of events carries the theme “Dream Bluebells · Dream Fields,” in response to the Zhuzihhu community’s achievement of winning the Bronze Award in the City Category of the International Awards for Liveable Communities, often dubbed the “Green Oscars.” This year, the bluebell landscape floral designs primarily aim to transform the bluebell farms into scenes from the “childhood dreams” of the farmers, while also evoking visitors’ memories and dreams of home—for instance, “Clouds’ Journey,” imagining traveling with dreams under the blessings of bluebells, or “Dreams of the Primitive Era,” reminiscing about old times and returning to the original touching moments of Zhuzihhu. Additionally, at the Zhuzihhu entrance parking lot, the city government’s mascot “Yuánzǎi” the panda is integrated into the storytelling scene, combined with the beauty of bluebells, to create flower landscapes with different atmospheres where visitors can take photos.

Additionally, to share the honor of being an “International Awards for Liveable Communities” winner with visitors, a “Romantic Homes · Love-filled Town” retrospective exhibition of past Zhuzihhu Bluebell Festivals is scheduled to be held at Hutan Elementary School during the bluebell season. Through large display boards, the exhibition introduces the evolution of local farmers’ efforts in cultivating bluebells and other flowers in Zhuzihhu in recent years, as well as the progress in stream trail restoration and improvement of public facilities. Visitors are welcome to come and explore.

It is worth mentioning that the farm owner, Gao Yuxuan, has refrained from allowing visitors to pick flowers for two consecutive years in order to maintain the flower sea landscape within the park. He hopes that visitors hiking up the mountain can simply stroll along the stream trail and be surrounded by vast stretches of white flowers, enjoying the dreamy atmosphere of the mountain bluebell fields. Furthermore, real-time flower condition information will be provided this year. Visitors can check the latest flower conditions and weather at Zhuzihhu on the official Bluebell Festival website to choose the best time to visit, offering timely and thoughtful services.
