[Taipei Travel Tips and Q&A]

Best Cherry Blossom/Sakura season in Taiwan?

 

 

 

 

by eina30 on TripAdvisor Taipei Forum Dec 05, 2011, 1:05 AM

After Winter, Comes Spring!! Taiwan is famous for its breathtaking scene in spring, from North to South – And it’s lucky that there are many places to experience a beautiful sakura season in Taipei!! Can’t wait until the end of December for the early cherry blossom!! Make your booking now to catch the amazing scene!

Hi eina30,

This is Cassie from Taipei-Vacation.com. We are working as freelance Taipei travel advisor, aiming at planning and designing personalized Taiwan tours for overseas travelers.

As eeveelugia already mentioned, the cherry blossom season in Taiwan starts between the end of winter and the beginning of spring (late December to April). In addition, the earliest cherry blossom season in Taiwan may start in Sanzhi Dist., New Taipei City (located in Northern East Coast of Taipei) – ”Sanzhi Early Cherry Blossom”. With the feature of slope ramp, this area breeds many original Taiwanese types of cherry blossoms, e.g. 緋寒櫻, 八重櫻 and 吉野櫻. So far, more than 15,000 sakura trees are planted with 70 kilometer long. It is truly a breathtaking scene which you would have to witness by yourself. Every year, tons of tourists and locals come here to celebrate the events (櫻芝戀).

You can plan a whole day trip to Northern East Coast (Jiu Fen, Jinguashi, Ruifang, Keelung, Shifen, Qingtong) with a pre-book driver. Usually it takes TWD 4,500-4,800 per 8 hours for a 4-seated taxi. If you are travelling with a group of 4 people, I personally think it would be the best way for a flexible and hassle-free experience!

Let us know if you are interested in making the booking for Taipei accommodation or taxi with us! Enjoy Taipei!

Hope it helps,

The best month to visit Taiwan for cherry blossom is March, but do expect crowds everywhere.
