Taimali Golden Needle Mountain Introduction
Every year from August to September, along the ridge where the mountains and sea intertwine, a winding and narrow mountain road climbs to an altitude of 1450 meters. What greets your eyes is a vast expanse of golden flowers, known as Jinzen Mountain due to its abundant production of daylilies. The hiking trails feature several pavilions and observation decks, offering a broad view of the entire flower sea and the cityscape below. With a mountain behind and the ocean in front, one can even overlook the entire Pacific Ocean. Each angle presents a different scenery, and at the summit lies a first-class triangulation point, one of Taiwan's minor mountains, continuously astonishing visitors! Shuangru Peak is the highest point of Jinzen Mountain, making it the best vantage point for flower viewing and the most recognized area for densely blooming daylilies. Step into nearby Shuguang Pavilion or Millennium Pavilion to enjoy the sea of flowers shrouded in mist, watching the golden waves of flowers roll in like a dreamy paradise. Along the way, vendors sell daylily dishes, allowing you to sit at the observation deck amid the stunning flower fields and enjoy fried daylilies, daylily tea eggs, and cold daylily salad. It’s truly delightful! You can also purchase dried daylilies to cook at home! The climate here is richly varied, providing excellent conditions for plant growth, with flowers blooming in every season: cherry blossoms from January to March, wild lilies from April to May, hydrangeas from June to July, daylilies from August to October, and maple leaves from November to December. It also produces dragon fruit, hibiscus flowers, Tai Feng tea, and lychee varieties, satisfying both the visual and taste buds, ensuring your visit is absolutely worthwhile.
