Sun Moon Lake is the most famous lake in Taiwan. At sunset, the surface of the lake will become more glistening. In addition, the image of the slashing mountains behind the lake is also getting pink and extremely virtual.

Besides, Cingjing is a large and very cute hill. In spring, the weather is extremely cool, the sun is shining beautifully. The first feeling when coming to Cingjing is the feeling of the eyes because the spreading grass was smooth and green, the fat lambs strolled away as if they were on a Northern European mountain slopes.

Sun Moon Lake and Cingjing are the two most popular spots to see cherry blossom in Taiwan. However, there are some things that are not well known in the spring when the flower blossoms cover the whole area. Unlike the white cherry blossoms in Jinhae of South Korea, the peach flowers blossoms around Sun Moon Lake are pinky. The petals are fragile and always sparking because of early dew drops or raindrops.

Wuling Farm, Taichung (mid February to late February 2024)

Wuling Farm is located in a high mountain valley in Taichung. The seasons are distinct so its nature is also very diverse, and the landscape in all seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) has its characteristic. For example, when we come in autumn, we will have an opportunity to see the crimson forests as you can see the below picture.

Furthermore, there is also a specialty of Taiwanese Salmon. This kind of fish has origin from Ice Age. The story of this Wuling farm is also very interesting. In the past, there was a construction period of a railway line across Central Taiwan. After finishing, some staff decided to stay in order to continue construction of the farm and the wood exploiting. Since that time, Wuling was planted and preserved to become a large farmhouse known for its apple, pear, peach, mountain vegetable, cherry blossom, and maple.

Another lucky point is that Wuling is not well – known by foreign visitors. Therefore, in the cherry blossom season, this place is not as crowded as other places (but still crowded). Most of the local people come here for a picnic or getting around.

Note: In the cherry blossom season, the traffic here is strict and the car is not allowed to go to Wuling. Thus, you can catch a bus to reach the farm.

How to go
