Every year from February till April, cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Flowers through Taiwan flourish successively with a rich and diverse range of species. From north to south, major events integrate the cherry blossom season with the local cultural characteristics. The cherry blossoms found in Taiwan generally originate from other countries, with the majority from Japan, as Taiwan was once a colony of Japan. Due to the high status of cherry blossoms in Japan, traces of the flower were evident in areas throughout Taiwan. In recent years, the cherry blossom season has become an important festivity in Taiwan.
