Tainan Travel: The Path of Pink Shower Trees

Spring in Taiwan is truly a magnificent season with an abundance of blooming flowers. I'm happy that Tainan offers numerous locations to enjoy a variety of flowers. If you're interested in discovering more fascinating flower spots, feel free to follow my blog or Facebook page for updates.

During our recent visit, we explored Xigang District in Tainan to witness the mesmerizing bloom of pink shower trees. Native to Southeast Asia, these trees have been cultivated in tropical regions around the world as ornamental plants. They hold significance in Thai culture as one of the Nine Auspicious Trees, believed to bring good luck, ensure high status, and symbolize victory. In fact, the flower of the pink shower tree is designated as the provincial flower of Chainat Province in Thailand. Often referred to as the "cherry blossom of Thailand," these trees display clusters of flowers ranging in color from pale pink to crimson, adorned with vibrant yellow stamens.
