Wuling Farm Cherry Blossom Day Tour Map
As the cherry blossom viewing bus will first drive to the innermost part of the farm and then let passengers walk back to the entrance, we recommend a few cherry blossom viewing spots based on the map above for your reference!
Cherry Maple Forest Area (Cherry Blossom Map No. 1)
The Cherry Maple Forest Area is the first cherry blossom viewing area you will reach after getting off the bus. This area is a bit off the main road and requires a detour to reach. However, the cherry blossom forest here is quite spectacular when in full bloom and is definitely worth a visit!
Following the road down, you can reach the Taoyuan Cherry Blossom Platform, which is close to the drop-off point for day tour groups and buses, so it tends to be crowded. The cherry trees here grow straight on both sides of the road and are quite tall, making them ideal for photography with a medium to long focal length lens.
Wushe Cherry Blossom Group and Ancient Pine Cherry Blossom Group (Cherry Blossom Map No. 3-4)
Continuing along the road, you will reach the Wushe Cherry Blossom Group and Ancient Pine Cherry Blossom Group. Here, the cherry trees are mainly planted on both sides of the road. If the weather is good, the cherry blossoms against the blue sky will be even more stunning. Unfortunately, the weather at Wuling Farm changes rapidly, so catching a good day is a matter of luck. Also, don’t miss the large Wushe Cherry Blossom King in the Wushe Cherry Blossom Group when it’s in full bloom!
Zhaofeng Cherry Blossom Garden is one of the must-visit cherry blossom viewing spots in Wuling Farm. To reach Zhaofeng Cherry Blossom Garden, you need to deviate from the main road and cross the Zhaofeng Bridge. The main feature here is a row of cherry trees paired with a tea garden, which makes for unique photo opportunities!
The Cherry Blossom Road in front of Wuling Farm Tea Plantation is another must-visit cherry blossom viewing spot. The cherry trees in front of the tea plantation are very lush, and using a telephoto lens can create a sense of abundance in your photos.
Miaogao Cherry Blossom Slope is the second cherry blossom viewing spot in Wuling Farm that I highly recommend. Although it’s just a gentle slope, the cherry blossom tunnel formed by the trees on both sides is beautiful from any angle!
Fuyuan Cherry Blossom Area (Cherry Blossom Map No. 9)
Fuyuan Cherry Blossom Area is the place in Wuling Farm that gives me the most authentic Japanese cherry blossom viewing experience. The vast cherry blossom forest is spectacular from any angle. Unfortunately, this place is so attractive that it might be difficult to capture a scene without people.

The Lanyang Plain is a crucial rice-growing region in Taiwan, with rice culture holding significant meaning and value from past to present. Located in Wujie, Yilan, the Erjie Rice Barn Culture Museum is an indoor rainy day attraction and tourist factory where visitors can learn about rice culture.
Visiting Taoyuan to watch planes is a travel itinerary I highly recommend. If a foreign friend asks me what’s fun in Taoyuan, I might suggest they go watch planes near Taoyuan Airport! The plane-watching spot on Dayuan’s War Preparedness Contact Road in Taoyuan is a great place to watch planes take off and land up close. It’s worth revisiting, and you can easily spend several hours leisurely watching planes come and go.
