Meifeng

Tucked away between Cingjing Farm and Hehuanshan, Meifeng Farm is one of the experimental farms of National Taiwan University. Unless prior reservations have been made, this farm is generally not open to the public except in March, when flowers are in glorious, exuberant bloom. Expect to be amazed by a medley of cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and tulips that greet you from all directions.

The farm is home to some rarest flowers that are hard to find in the plains such as the endangered plant Pleione formosana. In springtime, these pink flowers have fringed white lips that are strongly marked and mottled with brown on the inner surface. The eye-dazzling peach blossom tunnel is the big draw here. The tree branches bend over to form a natural tunnel and bring a blush of romantic sensation to this real gem of a find secretly hidden on the Hehuanshan Highway.
