[2025 Chiayi County Attraction] Travel Guide for Alishan Sakura Trail (Updated May)

#Chiayi Sakura The Cherry Blossom Trail next to Alishan Hotel is a short but beautiful flower-viewing trail. Different from the bustling Nuoping Trail, this trail is relatively quiet and suitable for a morning walk or afternoon relaxation. When I was staying at Alishan Hotel, I came out of the side door at six in the morning and walked slowly along this path. I was greeted by a field of cherry blossom trees. Some of the branches even hung down above the trail, as if surrounded by pink clouds. Walking on the trail, cherry blossom petals fall in the wind, just like the romantic scenes in the animation. You can also see some trees and ancient stone lanterns along the way, adding a touch of Japanese style. Although this is not an official tourist attraction, it is close to hotels and historical buildings, and combines nature and humanity, making it a warm place for a stroll. I took some photos of cherry blossoms in the soft morning light here, which is one of the most poetic memories of the entire trip.

#嘉义樱花 #2月好去处2025 Walking into the Sakura Road in Chiayi, I thought I had traveled to Japan, but when I looked up, the sign was still written in Chinese, and I was sure that I was in the right place. Although the cherry blossoms here are not as numerous as those in Japan, the pink flowers swaying in the breeze still make people want to take a few more beautiful photos (of course, the angle must be good to avoid taking pictures of the main road behind). There are pavilions along the way where you can rest, which is a good place to sit down and pretend to be a literary youth, with a hand-shaken drink and pretending to be writing poetry. As we walked, we noticed that not only were there more people, but even the squirrels started to jump around. It seemed that they also understood the fun of appreciating flowers (or they simply wanted to steal the snacks from the tourists). Occasionally, I would meet photography masters who were fully armed and squatting to take pictures of flowers, while I would hold my mobile phone and press the shutter button frantically. In the end, I found out when I got home that the thing I captured most clearly was actually my own fingers. In short, Chiayi's Cherry Blossom Road is really beautiful. You will never regret it if you come here during the flower viewing season! #Sakura Road #Cherry Blossom Viewing #Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots #Cherry Blossom Viewing Fun #Spring #Spring Limited #Photography #Check-in #Internet Beauty Spots #Travel #Taiwan #Taiwan Attractions #Cherry Blossom Rain #Pink #Romance

The Alishan Sakura Trail is a serene and magical walkway that comes alive during Taiwan’s cherry blossom season, typically from late February to April. Nestled in the lush highlands of the Alishan National Scenic Area, the trail is adorned with hundreds of sakura trees, primarily Yoshino and Formosan cherry varieties, which bloom in shades of soft pink and white. Walking along the trail offers breathtaking views of the blossoms, set against the backdrop of misty mountains and verdant forests. The atmosphere is tranquil, often accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature and the occasional call of birds. Early mornings add an ethereal touch, as the blossoms appear to float amidst drifting mountain fog. The trail also connects to other attractions in the Alishan area, such as ancient cypress trees, traditional tea plantations, and the famous Alishan Forest Railway. It is a favorite spot for photography enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking a peaceful retreat into nature’s beauty. Whether you’re strolling leisurely or pausing to admire the delicate blossoms, the Alishan Sakura Trail offers an unforgettable experience of Taiwan’s seasonal charm.
