The Best Places to See Cherry Blossoms in Taiwan
It’s a little-known fact that when it comes to seeing cherry blossoms in full bloom, Taiwan around March time is a good alternative to the more popular destinations of Korea and Japan. If you’re in Taiwan during cherry blossom season, here are the best places to see these beautiful flowering trees.
1. Yangmingshan National Park
Park
This is usually where the cherry blossoms first appear, and it’s also a pretty good place to go for a day trip too. Yangmingshan is one of Taiwan’s finest national parks, and it’s a favorite destination for day-tripping hikers and those looking to get out of the city for a breath of fresh air.
Here you’ll find that many of the cherry blossom trees are planted alongside hiking trails and paths, making for a wonderful setting for a long walk under the blossoms. To get there, just take the local bus from Beitou MRT station to the park, and you can’t miss them.
