Besides exploring cultural heritage sites, early spring is also a great time for flower viewing in Tainan. Currently, flowering trees across various districts are gradually blooming, including plum blossoms, magenta trumpet trees, yellow trumpet trees, sunflowers, and Bauhinia. To help visitors quickly access flower viewing information, the Tainan City Government Tourism Bureau has launched“a Citywide Flower Viewing Map”, which the public can also help contribute to.
1. Magenta Trumpet Tree
When the magenta trumpet tree blooms, its flowers hang like bells from the branches, creating a stunning sight as they sway in the wind. The tree usually blooms from January to February with purple or pink flowers, flowering only after its leaves have fallen. The magenta trumpet tree is also the first floral welcome guest of Tainan’s spring, planted along roadsides in Xiaying District, Jiali District, Liujia District, Shanhua District, West Central District, and North District, and scattered across Annan District, Daliao District, Guantian District, Liuying District, Xinying District, Xuejia District, and Yujing District.

2. Yellow Trumpet Tree
Also blooming in early spring is the yellow trumpet tree, whose flower meaning is "returned happiness." With golden-yellow clustered flowers forming a slightly head-like inflorescence, the bright yellow-orange blooms sway in the wind. When the flowers fall like golden rain, strolling beneath the tree is incredibly romantic. The yellow trumpet tree can be found at Yi Zai Jin Cheng, Anping Tree House, Linsen Road in East District, Jiali District Park Boulevard, Ye Shitao Literature Memorial Hall in West Central District, Yenping Prince Shrine, both sides of Renhe District Airport Road, Xiaying Wenxiao 2 Park, Hutoupi Dam Suspension Bridge Café, as well as Taiwan Poetry Road in Yanshui District.

4. Plum Blossom
Tainan’s Meiling, famous for its plum blossoms, not only features plum trees covering the hills but also a good number of Taiwan mountain cherries, azaleas, and peonies scattered throughout the mountains, bringing an early spring feel to the area from January to February. The starting point for flower viewing is at the entrance of Meifeng Ancient Trail next to the public restaurant. Along the approximately one-kilometer mid-elevation trail, there are around 600 Taiwan mountain cherry trees in bloom, as well as tens of thousands of azaleas and peonies.
▲Bauhinia.
5. Bauhinia
In spring, Bauhinia trees are covered with light pink flowers and have heart-shaped leaves. They can be found at Anping Fortress, Anping Tree House, Tainan Park, Kaohsiung Medical University, Wushantou Reservoir, Batai Road in Guantian District, Jinglaowu Elementary School in Houpi District, Taikang Elementary School in Liuying District, Shantang Elementary School in Shanhua District, Dongyang Elementary School in Xuejia District, roadside trees along Provincial Highway 20 in Nanhua District, Tidanghu Park in Xinxing District, Tainan Sugar Refinery, and the bicycle paths along both sides of Section 3 of Taijiang Boulevard in Annan District. Especially at National Cheng Kung University’s Guangfu, Shengli, and Ziqiang campuses, rows of pink flowers paired with green lawns and lake views are incredibly beautiful. The row of trees in front of the dormitories at Shengli Campus has even become a backdrop for idol dramas.
