the cherry blossom was not in a full bloom but yeah we enjoyed it so much. its our first time experiencing it but it gives us something different to remember. Must vist esp mid feb-early march it probably a full season of cherry blossoms
Must try when you’re in Taiwan during Feb! Flowers are in bloom during our visit. We booked this together with the carpool we booked since its cheaper in Klook than buying in the entrance itself. Use my code CHIBUGANKLOOK on any Klook activities to save more!
If you’re around Ximen, the trip is really quick. The Three Gorges area is beautiful, though it was raining when we went, so we didn’t get to explore much since we didn’t have an umbrella. Overall, the trip was still really okay!
Would highly recommend this place if you want to experience cherry blossom in Taipei. This place is about 20 km from Taipei City. Reaching here by Public transport is bit tough as only one bus runs through this place. We visited this place by renting a scooter for half day at 200 NTD + 27 NTD for fuel. The early cherry trees blossom in January while the late cherry blossom will be in March. The ginger sweet potato soup was delicious.
Worth every single penny. This place is a hidden jem in new taipei city. Its better to book tickets through Klook as on-site price is 250 NTD. The best time to visit is from January - March. Recommended time to visit to watch Plum blossom is in the end of Jan. For Cherry blossom, its adviced to visit in mid-February.
If you go to the venue directly, you can only pay in cash (which is a bit more expensive). Instead, you can buy tickets online through the platform and get a QR code immediately (take a photo of the counter 🤳). It's really great! It really doesn’t take 40 minutes to walk on the day! However, it is really hard to walk uphill all the way and it is a bit slippery (there are floor mats to prevent slipping). Currently, only the cherry blossoms at the back and the innermost part are in full bloom. You can also take a lot of beautiful photos for the Internet.
Perfect place for full bloom cherry blossoms! Worth a visit. A bit far. We used UBER to get there then taxi to go back to Taipei.
Taking advantage of the good weather, I rushed to see the cherry blossoms. The internet was available at the ticket office, so I immediately bought the ticket on Look. After the purchase, I got the ticket QR code. I scanned the QR code at the entrance and entered the park. It was very convenient. I saved 10 yuan per person and didn't have to queue up to buy tickets.

Guide

A popular limited-time attraction in New Taipei City, perfect for family outings in the spring. It boasts over 4,000 cherry trees, attracting many visitors to admire the flowers. The cherry blossom forest covers approximately 5 hectares, and when the cherry trees throughout the area bloom each spring, they create a magnificent sea of pink and white cherry blossoms, resembling a paradise on earth.

During the flower season, when the petals under the cherry trees fall in the breeze, it is even more romantic and moving. This place is not only a paradise for flower lovers but also an ideal place for families and friends to gather.
