Hsingquan Canal Wind Bell Tree Introduction
Every year during the flowering season of the golden trumpet tree, a frenzy of flower chasing emerges across various regions, and Xingquan Channel, located at the junction of Guangfu and Ruishui, is a popular spot for viewing golden trumpet trees. The nearly 300-meter-long avenue lined with golden trumpet trees blooms with vibrant yellow flowers in March, beautifully contrasting with the distant green mountains. The golden reflections seen in the gentle flowing water of the channel are as picturesque as an oil painting, making it a rising hotspot for Instagram and Facebook check-ins. Xingquan Channel, originating from the Butterfly Valley in Fuyuan, was constructed during the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty and boasts a history of over a century. Later on, it was taken over by Taiwan Sugar Corporation, which planted trumpet trees on both sides of the channel. Every March, when the flowers bloom, it creates a magnificent golden river. The vibrant yellow flowers reflect in the adjacent rice fields, attracting numerous visitors who come to enjoy the blossoms and immerse themselves in the beautiful scenery. Important reminder: As this spot is located near a school, please do not park vehicles indiscriminately or near the school (such as Fuyuan Junior High School), and help maintain smooth traffic! Since the area around the channel is filled with farmland and jungles, visitors should walk on the ridges of the fields when enjoying the flowers, as it can be slippery; wearing non-slip shoes or waterproof shoes that are not afraid of getting dirty is recommended. After flower viewing, a quick rinse is advisable. In addition to being cautious not to fall into the channel, please do not litter to keep the environment clean.
