Wuling Farm Cherry Blossom Festival: Tranquility and splendor in the off-season


Wuling Farm's cherry blossom season is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing events in Taiwan, attracting large crowds of visitors every year. Even during the off-peak season, Wuling Farm remains bustling with tourists.


There are several reasons for this phenomenon:

  1. Variety of Cherry Blossom Species and Long Blooming Period: Wuling Farm has over 19,000 cherry blossom trees, including many varieties such as Showa cherry, Prunus campanulata, Yoshino cherry, and Yaezakura. These cherry blossoms have different blooming periods, allowing visitors to enjoy the blossoms throughout the entire cherry blossom season.

  2. Other Natural Attractions: In addition to cherry blossoms, Wuling Farm offers many other natural attractions. Located within Shei-Pa National Park, the farm boasts rich natural scenery, including mountains, forests, and waterfalls. Visitors can also enjoy hiking, camping, bird watching, and other outdoor activities.

  3. Convenient Transportation: Wuling Farm is conveniently located along Taiwan Provincial Highway 7A. Visitors can easily reach the farm by public transportation or by driving themselves.

Due to these combined factors, Wuling Farm's cherry blossom season continues to attract large crowds of visitors, even during the off-peak season.




On the way to the visitor center, there is a cherry blossom king, the largest cherry blossom tree in the entire area. When we visited, it happened to be in full bloom, while the few trees next to it had not yet blossomed. We were quite lucky. Our timing was actually quite awkward yet fascinating because we visited just two days before the road closure for cherry blossom season traffic control. Therefore, in the following days, some areas would have even more beautiful cherry blossoms in bloom!











Wuling Farm is renowned for its vast variety and large number of cherry blossom trees, spread over a significant area. Different species and quantities of cherry blossoms bloom at different times, and the areas where they bloom vary as well, creating diverse atmospheres on different dates. 

The timing of the cherry blossom season is based on estimates and often doesn't align perfectly with reality, especially given the unpredictable weather nowadays. Factors like rain or hot weather can affect the blooming time of the cherry blossoms, making it uncertain whether your planned visit will coincide with the peak bloom.

In my opinion, there's no need to feel disappointed. Seeing any blooming cherry blossoms is a beautiful and lucky experience. Enjoy the moment and the company of those you're with.
