Every year near the Spring Festival is the Nantou cherry blossom time, Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village near Sun Moon Lake has a number of cherry blossom viewing sites, among which the Jiu Culture Village cherry blossom is considered to be the most intensive, by several kinds of cherry blossoms bloom in turn, so that the flowering season is up to more than 1 month ~ ~

Gondola Perspective

Before I left, I thought it would be crowded on a holiday, so I chose a normal day to come, but the parking lot was full of cars…. I could see the cherry blossoms blooming in the parking lot, but there were too many cars, so I had to avoid them and shoot upwards.

Cherry Blossoms at the Kuju Cultural Village

Walking up to the top of the parking lot you can see the group of cherry blossom trees that you just photographed, which got some tourists stuck taking pictures here at the beginning (in front of the ticket entrance).

During the cherry blossom season, most people go to take pictures of the cherry blossoms. The cable car is almost empty and you don’t have to queue up, so you can sit directly at the top of the park and walk slowly down, which makes walking around the park very relaxing.

Above the cable car, you can take pictures of the cherry blossom clusters in the forest from an aerial perspective. There are small windows on the cable car, so if you are sitting next to it, you can take pictures through the small windows so that the glass won’t be dirty and affect the picture, but if you can only see through the glass, you can press the lens against the wall to minimize the reflections!

In the middle section, you can see a large number of Fuji cherry blossom clusters (that’s right, I guess…) These two pictures were taken after the second cable car ride, which means you have to sit next to the window!

Cherry Blossoms in the Daytime

When you get to the top of the Nine Clans Cultural Village, you can walk down the street and there is almost a whole row of Yaezakura planted on the side of the street. If I remember correctly, this is the Yaezakura, which blossoms earlier, with some green leaves on the branches, and some of the blossoms have already fallen off.

The upper part of the park is an aboriginal cultural area with many huts and cherry blossoms, so you can take some time to watch the show.

Since the cherry blossoms on the street bloom earlier in the season, if you like the feeling of cherry blossom tunnels, you can come here at the beginning of the season! If you have a lot of time, you can come all the way here (I like the tunnel feeling).

The middle part of the park is later in the blossom period (more Fuji cherry blossoms), full of cherry blossoms, full of people, it’s good to imagine how explosive the crowd is on a holiday, and there’s almost no need to wait in line for the amusement facilities at this time of the year!

In the middle area, there are large grassy areas on both sides of the road! Although the cherry trees are not very tall, you can enjoy sitting under them.

Night Cherry Blossoms

Nine tribes here also have night cherry blossoms, specific date will have, before leaving to check the official website information ~, just personally think that the night cherry blossoms here is a little bit like a light show, colorful light, but not easy to find the beauty of the cherry blossoms in their own right, if the uniform is a warm yellow light source or a white light source should be more good ~ (purely personal preference).
