The splendid sea of flowers is in Tongluo, Miaoli! In spring, there are the orange-red flower walls of orange trumpetvine, and the mountains and valleys covered with snow-white tung flowers. In summer, you can enjoy the golden sunflower fields. In autumn, there are the pink, white, and light-yellow florist’s daisies. Blossoms can be enjoyed all year round.
