台北河濱花海
Do you still remember the vibrant purple flower fields in the spring of 2021? The flower fields in Guting Riverside Park are composed of purple flowers such as sweet violet, mealy sage, and lavender with pink flowers of the season serving as floral decoration. The ground appears like a large canvas on which colorful flowers were used as paint brushes. The creation of large flower fields like this is rare in the big city. Surrounding the fields are large open areas of green space with various interesting art installations. Visitors can wander through the dreamy flower fields and immerse themselves in the romantic spring atmosphere.

阿里山日出音樂會
Where do you want to see the first rays of the sun in the year 2021? How about at one of the most famous sunrise-viewing spots in Taiwan? Visitors take the Alishan Forest Railway to the Zhushan sunrise-viewing platform inside the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area each day of the year, but perhaps the best day to go is January 1. To celebrate the occasion, and to warm up the visitors who go on this most likely cold predawn outing, a live classical-music concert has been staged each year since 2002.

[2024] January 5~14 / Taipei City
[2022] January 7~ 16 | Taipei CityTaipei Camellias Show
臺北茶花展
The Floriculture Experiment Center was the place where camellia breeding started first in northern Taiwan. Due to the slightly acidic soil, year-round mist, and other suitable conditions, camellia and rhododendron were introduced to the area during the Japanese Colonial Period. What started as a hedgerow has now become a camellia tunnel. When the flowers are in bloom, a pink tableaux is formed, making this a favorite area for visitors to take photos. The Taipei Camellia Festival lasts for only 10 days, during which the camellia bloom in succession. Precious camellia bonsais (potted landscapes) on loan from camellia experts from around Taiwan are on display. Flower lovers should be sure not to miss this grand annual camellia flower event!
