The stunning view of cherry blossoms along the river in Sun-Link-Sea Forest has become a hotspot for tourists, who flock to capture the blossoms lining the riverbanks.
The 1500 cherry blossom trees in Sun-Link-Sea Forest offer a rare spectacle for the public, but for the small creatures nearby, it's a feast they rarely encounter. Birds pluck the cherry blossoms to sip nectar from the base, discarding them after each sip for another, while flying squirrels also join the buffet, feasting on flower buds.
The deputy director of the Sun-Link-Sea Nature Education Center, Chen Jui-chi (陳瑞麒), suggests that the best time to enjoy the cherry blossoms is before March 10.
At another scenic spot, a road in Fenyuan Township in Changhua stretching five kilometers long is adorned with 600 blooming Golden Trumpet Trees. As the wind blows, it creates a magical "golden rain" effect.
One visitor comments that if it doesn't rain, the beautiful scenery should last for at least two weeks.
A regular photographer noted that this year's flowers bloomed about 10 days earlier than usual, which could be caused by unusually high temperatures. The blossoms are in excellent condition, and it is predicted that this weekend during the Lantern Festival, will be the best time to admire the flowers.
