Loving flowers is human nature; loving beauty is innate.

Taiwanese people are not indifferent to natural plants, flowers, and aesthetics. Whenever the vibrant and brilliant flower season arrives, everyone flocks to seek out flowers and scenic spots, immersing themselves in the embrace of beauty. It is an invitation from the Goddess of Spring to dance, allowing one to enjoy a feast for body, mind, and spirit that is vibrant and fresh. This year, thanks to the lack of rain, the golden trumpet trees could bloom brilliantly for a long time; usually, they fall completely after a spring rain shower. We can only admire beauty and submit to its aesthetic charm, finding great joy in it. This scene is located along the embankment of Junhui Bridge on the Bazhang Creek in Chiayi City, as well as the riverbank park on the opposite side and the streets of Zhongpu.
