Tung Flowers (2)

The Hakka Tung Blossom Festival is one of the most beautiful floral eventsin Taiwan and the most passionate festival in spring. It usually begins in late March and lasts for 2 months. During this period, visitors can see tree tops covered with white tung flowers, creating a snow-like effect in the forest. That is why the festival has it nickname, “May Snow.” The Hakka Tung Blossom Festival is not only a floral festival but, more importantly, a ceremony in which the Hakka people pay honor to the heaven and earth and remind themselves to remember their roots and culture.
