Cherry and Wisteria, Bloom in riotous colors
Early spring is the most splendid time in Alishan, as the powder pink cherry blossoms lift the veil of spring, while the romantic wisterias follow closely behind. The cherry blossoms bloom gradually from December to March in the Alishan National Scenic Area. However, the cherry blossoms at the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area bloom from mid March to April. March is also the best time to enjoy wisterias. Visit Alishan in the spring and let the colorful floral vista impress you with unforgettable travel memories.

Fuji, Yoshino, Taiwan and Yaezakura are some of the varieties of cherry blossoms that bloom all over the mountains of Alishan every early spring. Enjoy the pale pink Taiwan and snow-white Fuji cherry blossoms among the giant trees that erect in the forest. The petals sprinkling down like light rain drops, and the surrounding wooden structures form a romantic and beautiful picture of spring. Let Alishan’s spring floral season be an event not to be missed each year.
