Taimali Jinshan Mountain Introduction
Every year from August to September, along the ridge interwoven with mountains and sea, a winding and narrow mountain road ascends to an elevation of 1,450 meters. What unfolds before your eyes is a vast expanse of golden flowers, known as Jinzheng Mountain due to its abundant production of golden needle flowers. The hiking trails are equipped with several pavilions and viewing platforms, offering broad vistas where one can overlook the entire flower sea and the cityscape below. With views backed by mountains and facing the sea, you can even gaze upon the vast Pacific Ocean. Every angle offers a different scenery, and at the summit hides one of Taiwan's minor peak tri-points, which is truly stunning! Shuangru Peak is the highest point of Jinzheng Mountain, making it the best viewpoint for flower appreciation and the recognized area with the densest golden needle flowers. Step into the nearby Shuguang Pavilion or Millennium Pavilion to admire the flower sea surrounded by swirling mists, observing waves of golden flowers that resemble a dreamy paradise. Along the way, vendors sell dishes made with golden needle flowers, and you can sit on the viewing platforms, enjoying fried golden needle flowers, golden needle tea eggs, and cold golden needle flower salads, adding to your pleasure! You can also purchase dried golden needle flowers to take home for your own cooking! The climate here is rich in diversity, providing excellent conditions for plant growth, and flowers bloom in every season: cherry blossoms from January to March, wild lilies from April to May, hydrangeas from June to July, golden needle flowers from August to October, and maple leaves from November to December. It also produces dragon fruit, roselle, Taifeng tea, and lychee, greatly satisfying both visual and taste experiences, ensuring that your journey here is definitely worthwhile.
