Cherry Blossom Blooming Time Across Taiwan’s Cities
Typically, Taiwan's cherry blossoms bloom early and last for over a month, unlike Japan's cherry blossoms which bloom and fade quickly. So, for those who missed the chance to visit Japan for cherry blossoms, a trip to Taiwan offers an equally wonderful alternative.
Taiwan also enjoys a beautiful spring with romantic cherry blossoms in full bloom
Here’s some information about the cherry blossom blooming times in major cities across Taiwan. You can refer to this for planning your trip.
- Taipei, New Taipei: The blossoms typically begin to bloom around the end of January and last until mid-April, giving you nearly three months to admire the flowers. However, be sure not to visit too late as the blooms at the tail end of the season won’t be as stunning as during peak bloom.
- Kaohsiung: As a popular tourist destination, this city is home to many cherry trees, with the blossoms usually in full bloom around February.
- Taichung: Taichung should be on your must-visit list when booking a flight to Taiwan. The city not only offers many exciting experiences but is also one of the top spots for cherry blossom viewing. The blossoms here generally bloom from February to mid-March.
- Chiayi (Chiayi County): Chiayi is the last region in Taiwan where cherry blossoms bloom, usually starting from mid-March to mid-April. At the same time, the blooms in the neighboring area of Pingtung also begin to bloom. If you're planning to visit Taiwan during this time, these two regions are great options to enjoy the blossoms and also have a chance to attend the 2023 Cherry Blossom Festival.
