Except July and August (too hot) and January and February (too cold), all other months are suitable.
Taiwan's climate is neither severely cold in winter nor scorching hot in summer. Fragrant vegetation and flowers bloom all year round.
You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, go to the sea in summer, see red leaves in autumn, and soak in hot springs in winter. Each has its own fun.
Moreover, many places in Taiwan are worth visiting again and again, so choosing to visit the island at different times is something worth doing.
The following are interesting places in Taiwan. The reason why Taiwan is called the "Treasure Island" is that there are treasures everywhere. In addition to the regular gameplay, you might as well go and see the wonderful wonderland that can only be seen in May - "May Snow" - Oil
Tongyu.
Tung trees | It’s not a wonder on earth that snow is better than snow. In Taiwan, which is located in the tropical and subtropical tropics, it doesn’t really snow in May.
But there is a kind of snow-white flower that blooms in late April and early May, covering the mountains and fields like a poetic snow country.
This is Tung tung tree.
The handsome boy Akai has lived in Hualien for a long time. As a native, he is familiar with all the beautiful scenery in Hualien and even Taiwan, but he is still deeply fascinated by the scene of tung trees blooming all over the mountains, forests and fields, with petals falling down every year.
He explained the flowering period of tung trees with familiarity: "Tung trees are mostly distributed in eastern and north-central Taiwan. In addition to Hualien, they are also planted in Keelung, New Taipei and other places in the north. They usually begin to bloom at the end of April, but this year the weather has been relatively wet and cold.
It’s almost May, and the tung trees are still in bud. In other words, friends who come to Taiwan in May are in for a treat! "Hakka Tung Blossom Festival | The most shocking flower festival in Taiwan, Akai told us that Taiwanese people love tung trees.
Just like the love for peonies in mainland China, there is a special festival called Hakka Tung Blossom Festival.
Because tung oil has been the most important economic crop for the Hakka people for a long period of time, this festival also conveys the Hakka mountain and forest culture of respecting nature.
"This year's Tung Blossom Festival will be held from April 8 to May 22, and will be held in 12 counties and cities including Miaoli, Yilan, Nantou, and Hualien, so friends who plan to visit these places will not miss it." In addition to enjoying the oil painting, the Tung Blossom Festival
Tong, there are also pure Hakka customs such as literary societies, concerts, etc. for you to experience. Different counties and cities have their own unique features.
The most solemn thing is the worship of the mountain god, which reflects the close connection between the Hakka people and the tung tree for generations.
East Rift Valley | The most classic route for appreciating tung trees. As a chartered tour guide, one of the classic routes provided by Akai is the East Rift Valley line connecting Hualien and Taitung.
Going south along Provincial Highway 9 from north to south, you will see increasingly thick "May snow".
If you are attracted by the petals floating all over the ground and get out of the car, you will smell the fragrant fragrance all over the ground.
Stepping on it gently feels like stepping on a soft tung quilt, like a dreamy land.
