Huwei Cherry Blossom Avenue Introduction
Huwei Cherry Blossom Avenue is located on the North No. 4 Highway in Tamsui. Huwei is the old name of Tamsui. The Huwei Rotary Club and the Tamsui District Office initiated the planting of Yoshino cherry and mountain cherry trees to increase the density of cherry blossoms along the North No. 4 Highway, from Shulin Kou to Sankong Spring, forming a cherry blossom avenue. With the opening of the Tamsui Light Rail, visitors can get off at the Dengdeng Gong Station and walk about 100 meters to encounter a 4-kilometer long cherry blossom tunnel. The cherry blossom avenue stretches approximately 4 kilometers, making it not only the only one in Tamsui but also the longest cherry blossom pathway in the world. It offers a panoramic view of Datun Mountain and serves as a hiking route for local residents on regular days. During the Lunar New Year when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the road lined with blooming cherry flowers resembles a magical pink carpet. Along this route, visitors can also see sweetgum and banyan trees showcasing their vibrant vitality.
