As the Lunar New Year arrives, flower appreciation events are gradually kicking off around the country. Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market in Houli District, Taichung City, is holding its Tulip Festival from now until mid-March. The 6-hectare park is also home to a variety of flowers that bloom in all four seasons, including a Dutch windmill area, a sage-themed area, and a seasonal flower field area, creating a vibrant New Year floral carnival. Since tulips typically bloom for only about seven days, the organizers will periodically replace them with fresh blooms throughout the exhibition period.

Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market is the only flower market in central Taiwan that has successfully cultivated tulips at low altitudes. It imports a variety of bulbous flowers from the Netherlands, such as saffron, irises, grape hyacinths, daffodils, Chinese lantern flowers, perfumed lilies, trumpet lilies, and dwarf lilies. This year, over 150,000 vibrant tulips of approximately 36 varieties will be planted in the European-style garden, offering visitors an exotic New Year experience.
In addition to enjoying the tulip blooms and the Dutch-style ambiance created by flowers and windmills at Zhongshe Sightseeing Flower Market in Houli, visitors can also explore nearby attractions such as the Houli Horse Ranch, Houfeng Bicycle Path, Tai'an Railway Cultural Park, Yuemei Sugar Refinery, and Yuemei Lihpao Land. This allows travelers to enjoy a rich and diverse journey through a floral wonderland and local culture during their Lunar New Year holiday.
