Natasha EffendyWith the arrival of spring, cherry blossom season is upon us. Though cherry blossoms are mainly associated with South Korea and Japan, there are still many places in the world to catch these stunning pink flowers. In Taiwan, cherry blossoms usually bloom between January to early April. During these months, certain parts of the island come alive with pink trees and fallen petals. If that sounds like the perfect excuse to travel, read on for our Taiwan cherry blossom 2023 forecast.
Note: Keep in mind that flowering dates could still change due to fluctuating weather conditions. Plus, research shows that human-induced climate change has already resulted in extra-early blooms in the past. We will be updating this article every time a new Taiwan cherry blossom forecast is released.
