Kaohsiung Temple Cherry Blossom Guide: A Springtime Dream of Blossoms in Ancient Temples

Every year from March 15 to April 5, cherry blossoms bloom in some temples in Kaohsiung. Longshan Temple, located in Niaosong District, has over 30 Somei Yoshino cherry trees in its backyard. These trees bloom around the spring equinox, and visiting the temple early in the morning on an empty stomach allows you to experience the serene "cherry blossom snow." Donggang Confucius Temple, one of the largest Confucius temples in southern Taiwan, features cherry and apricot blossoms in spring, blending harmoniously with its traditional architecture for a unique charm. Travelers can use public transportation such as high-speed rail and metro, and purchasing an EasyCard is recommended. When enjoying the cherry blossoms, pay attention to the weather, prepare for sun protection, and respect local culture and regulations.
