Alishan Youth Activity Center

Alishan Youth Activity Center is a popular accommodation choice for backpackers and group study tours. However, many people are unaware of the stunning cherry blossoms that bloom here in spring. During my two-day stay, I woke up each morning to a breathtaking view of a row of cherry blossoms in full bloom outside the window, complemented by misty mountains in the distance, creating a dreamlike feeling of waking up in paradise. The center's garden design is also thoughtfully crafted, featuring several small paths and wooden corridors that are adorned with cherry blossoms during spring. At night, the blossoms are illuminated, showcasing a completely different charm under the evening sky. Although it’s not a major tourist hotspot, staying here feels like living under a canopy of cherry blossoms. Highly recommended for travelers looking to avoid crowds and quietly enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms, or for photography enthusiasts seeking to capture the perfect blend of cherry blossoms and architecture.
