Cherry blossom viewing before the first cold spell of winter arrives in Taiwan. If you want to see these flowers then hurry up because they are already in full bloom!
How to get here: Board the Taipei MRT and get off at Tamsui Station. Transfer to either Bus 866, 875, 876, 877 or F103 and alight at Tianyuan Temple (天元宮) stop. The flowers are located behind the temple. Japanese cherry blossom trees also surround Tianyuan Palace but they are expected to bloom in March.
