Taiwan Cherry Blossoms

Sakura or cherry blossom season is a huge draw in East Asia. Japan has the world's attention when it comes to sakura viewing. Even Korea has a popular cherry blossom season but few outside of the region are familiar with Taiwan's cherry blossom season. Although not anywhere near the same scale as Japan's giant "Sakura Garden" there are some beautiful spots that feature sakura against stunning nature backdrops and traditional temple complexes. One of the most popular places to see the cherry blossoms in Northern Taiwan, an earlier season than Japan's, is at Danshui District's Wuji Tianyuan Temple featuring the striking "Temple of Heaven" Pagoda. The pagoda is in the style of Beijing's Temple of Heaven. This is a Taoist temple complex with the main temple completed in 1972 and the 5 story pagoda finished in 1992.
During the Sakura season that begins in late January, shuttle buses head directly for the temple of the Tamshui MRT Station, at the very end of the red line. It's still a beautiful temple complex worthy of a visit anytime of year but sakura season offers the most convenient public transportation. During the off season buses stop aproximately 2 kilometers way, so you'll either have to walk or take a taxi from the Tamshui MRT station. Other sakura spots in Taiwan include Yamingshan National Park, and Wuling Farm, and Alishan National Park in central Taiwan.

I was there last weekend & it was crowded. A little disappointed not a lot of cherry blossoms & I didn’t get a chance to visit the national park. The view from the top great!

[@iamjohnsaboe]

Jean Chong sorry to hear that! Yes view is spectacular up top. Still pretty good amount of cherry blossoms on the trees when I was there earlier but all it takes is a bit of wind to finish the season.

Aly's World thank you!!!

Do you think i can still experience the cherry bloosom this weekend? Be there on Sunday until wednesday.

[@iamjohnsaboe]

No to Boring Life you could try but probably a little to late at the temple because it’s been windy. Maybe at Yamingshan Park? Good Luck!!!

[@notoboringlife3276]

I thought Taiwan is part of China not Japan

[@iamjohnsaboe]

Taiwan was a colony of Japan from 1895-1945.
