[2025 New Taipei City Attraction] Travel Guide for Wuji Tianyuan Temple (Updated Jun)

#Taipei Sakura Although the Tianyuan Temple in Tamsui is extremely far away, it is a well-known cherry blossom viewing spot in Taipei. The pagoda-shaped Tianyuan Temple is the background, and the blooming pink wild cherry blossoms are the foreground. With such a beautiful composition, it is no wonder that there are crowds of people every time the cherry blossoms are in full bloom! After the Chinese New Year, from the end of January to the middle of February, the three-color cherry blossoms on the back hill of Tianyuan Palace will be the first to bloom. However, it is easy to rain at this time, or it will be a gray and cloudy day, which makes it not so beautiful to take pictures. However, from March to April, it is the turn of the Somei Yoshino cherry trees around the Temple of Heaven to bloom, dyeing the world red with pink flowers. The weather in March is stable, so there are more opportunities to photograph the pink sea of ​​cherry blossoms under the blue sky and white clouds. Due to the large number of people during the flower season at Tianyuan Temple, traffic control is often implemented. Another option is to take public transportation. You can take the MRT to Tamsui Station, then transfer to the cherry blossom shuttle bus, or bus 875-877 to get to Tianyuan Temple. However, you must be prepared to wait in line. #3月好去2025 #TanshuiTianyuangong

#GetDiscountNotRelyingOnLuck At first, I was going to just go to Wuji Tianyuan (take the MRT to Tamsui and then take bus no. 875, 876, 877) but I kept going until I reached True Dragon Temple which is actually a 20-story Taiwanese cemetery with a magnificent view. However, I did not go up to the top floor. I did not know how to get from Tianyuan Temple, so I asked Google Maps, which told me to get off the bus at Houdian and walk another 3 kilometers 😅 But on the way back, I could not walk because the sun was very strong, so I took a van that I did not know which line because I could not read Chinese for 150twd and got off at Hongshulin Station instead.

Taiwan in spring felt like stepping into a dream—soft, warm, and filled with gentle surprises. It was my first time witnessing sakura in bloom, and I’ll never forget that feeling. The delicate pink petals danced in the breeze like whispers from a fairytale, and for a moment, everything else fell away. Spring painted Taiwan with life—from the lush green trails of the mountains to the golden light filtering through temple eaves. The air was laced with the scent of flowers and street food, and every step led to something unexpected: a hidden garden, a quiet tea house, a view that made me pause. It was more than just a trip. It was the season my heart slowed down and listened—to the laughter of new friends, the hush of cherry blossoms falling, and the rhythm of a place that felt both new and deeply familiar. These are the moments that glowed. And I’ll carry them, always.#MyTaiwanTale #SpringInTaiwan #SakuraDreams #SoloTravelMagic #MomentsThatGlowed
