When people mention sakura or cherry blossoms, you would immediately think of Japan. Although sakura is practically synonymous to Japan, there are other destinations like Taiwan, where you can admire the beauty of the pink blooms too.

In Taiwan, cherry blossoms usually bloom between January and early April. Unlike Japan, Taiwan does not have an official cherry blossom forecast. The flowering dates indicated below are estimates based on online sources and may vary due to weather changes.
