Alishan Mountain
In addition to cherry blossoms, springtime is also the most beautiful time in the famous Alishan Mountain area. Here, you can once again admire cherry blossoms interspersed with ancient trees. When they bloom, they resemble red flames amidst the green of the mountain forest. Visiting Alishan without taking a stroll around to admire the scenery would truly be a missed opportunity.
