Taipei City - Zhuzihu (Bamboo Lake) - The beauty of Taiwan

The best season to visit Yangmingshan national park is spring. During the period, there are so many festivals going on for everyone. Cherry blossom is the most famous one during the season. However, the one I am going to show you guys is calla lily season which is a quite long period. It usually starts from the end of March to May so you can pick up a nice and sunny day to check it out.

Flower season of Yangmingshan is from the early February to the end of April. During the weekends (Saturday and Sunday), you can’t drive a car here because of traffic control. Take bus is the best way. For calla lily season, you take Bus 260 from Taipei Main Station, make a transfer in the final stop to Bus 108 or 128 and then get off at Zhuzihu stop. 

Although it is called Zhuzihu or Bamboo Lake, you can barely see bamboo there. The location has been planted calla lily for almost 50 years. Therefore, you gotta to be amazed by the white and vast calla lily field once in your life. Calla lily only blossoms once a year, so don't miss it. 

Bamboo Lake's trail is well-designed. You can easily follow the path which is next to a beautiful stream. Actually, it is also nice to visit during summer because the stream can really cool you down when the temperature is up to 35 degrees Celsius. Enjoy the cozy breeze in the woods and listen to the murmur of the stream can calm you down, totally relax!!

Walking through the woods, you can see an open view of calla lily field. The elegant white flower is really charming. All the calla lily fields are private, so you have to get the ticket to get in. After you enter the field, you can take pictures or selfies wherever and whatever you want; of course, you also can purchase those calla lilies that you picked up by your own hands and then bring them home. The lily can last for a week or more. Hydrangea macrophylla season is right after calla lily, so if you stay long enough, you can return to Bamboo Lake for that.

Spring flower season is short, so come to visit and embracing the beauty of the moment!!
