Yangmingshan
Flower Festival.
An explosion of cherry blossoms, Yangmingshan turns
into a dream of pink and white during the Yangmingshan
Flower Season each year. While most people don��t think
of leaving the sight of the cherry blossoms, there��s
lots to be explored in Yangmingshan Park. If you walk
further up, you��ll see a torii gate, beautiful windy
streams and luscious moss carpets. If this looks Japanese
to you, you��re right. This was the private garden
of a Japanese man more than a century ago.
So this place used to belong to a Japanese industrialist,
am I right?
That��s right. A Japanese man by the name of Yamamoto
Yoshinobu came here in 1900. He struck it rich with
the coal mining industry, and after he bought the
land, he decided to build a house and a beautiful
Japanese garden.
And that��s where we are.
He was here until about 1945, when the Japanese lost
World War II.
After Japan returned control of Taiwan to China and
the Japanese left Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek lived here
for a period of time. The architectural style during
that time was Jiangnan style, in other words, Chinese.
So there is a Chinese garden and Chinese landscaping.
When Japanese garden landscaping meets Chinese garden
landscaping, this is what you get. Cedric says this
sums up Taiwanese culture over the last 100 years.
Also, there is a beautiful camellia garden at the
Floriculture Experiment Center.
When you get hungry from all the walking around, you
can try organic food that��s grown in Yangmingshan.
I was really pleasantly surprised to hear that the
park was actually somebody��s home and garden at one
point.
Also because this is the flower festival now, we had
a chance to go to that beautiful camellia park and
we ended up here having this delicious organic food.
This is definitely a trip to remember.
The Yangmingshan Flower Festival runs from January
29th to March 9th.
