Rows of Golden Trumpet Trees bloom in unison, their branches heavy with brilliant flowers , draping the road in a magnificent golden mantle. As a gentle breeze passes, petals drift down like golden rain.

With golden blooms covering the trees and carpeting the ground, a dreamlike “Golden Flower Path” emerges, leaving visitors in awe.

Though the blooming season is fleeting—typically lasting only one to two weeks—the spectacle is extraordinary. At its peak, the trees shed nearly all their leaves, leaving only radiant blossoms adorning the branches. The pure, vibrant gold against the sky is striking, allowing visitors—whether driving, cycling, or strolling beneath the canopy—to experience the unique romantic charm of a Changhua spring.

With sunlight filtering through the blossoms to create dancing shadows, it is a "season-limited" masterpiece for photographers.

For those looking to photograph the iconic "Golden Highway," the Xizhou section of Provincial Highway No. 1 (south of National Highway No. 1) is highly recommended. The straight, spacious road lined with golden trees provides expansive vistas, perfect for capturing the stunning scenery with extended composition. Beyond the Xizhou section, several hidden gems await: Xizhou Park in Changhua County, with its vast grounds and lush lawns, offers a refreshing contrast to the vibrant yellow blossoms.

For those who enjoy a view from the top, a visit to the Mt. Bagua Great Buddha Scenic Area is a must. In particular, the area around the Water Distribution Center offers a unique vantage point where you can gaze down at the city streets punctuated by bursts of golden blossoms—a truly distinct and charming sight. Additionally, rows of Golden Trumpet Trees line Zhangnan Road (Provincial Highway 14D) in Fenyuan Township and the Yuanlin Boulevard Section 1 along Babao No.

Canal, both ideal for a leisurely half-day exploration. If you prefer a more curated horticultural atmosphere, consider stopping by the Tianwei Highway Garden to round out your floral tour with a truly rejuvenating getaway.

While enjoying the scenery, please prioritize traffic safety. We recommend visiting during off-peak hours and parking in designated areas before exploring on foot. The Golden Trumpet’s splendor is fleeting—missing it means waiting another year. Seize the springtime and invite your loved ones
