Taiwan is an ideal location for short trips. If you are short on time, you can go to one place for 2 or 3 days, and you can stop and go comfortably; if you have plenty of time, you can choose to travel around the island. Each place has its own characteristics. For transportation within the island, you can choose high-speed rail, Taiwan Railway, chartered car or There is always a way to travel by plane that suits you.
Huahua has the opportunity to go to Taiwan again to experience a different route this time. First of all, she would like to thank the organizers Taiwan Cross-Strait Tourism Association, EVA Air , Uni Air , and Borderless Travel Planning for the joint invitation.
has been to Taiwan several times before, mainly in the north. However, Huahua wanted to visit the central part of the country this time, especially for babies who want to go to Taiwan in the near future. This is a great choice! That is the "2018 Taichung World Flower Expo" (referred to as "Flower Expo") currently underway in Taichung.
The Flower Expo is open until April 24, 2019
This Flower Expo is located in Taichung City, which is known as the most livable city in Taiwan. The Flower Expo is divided into three major themed exhibition areas, namely "Houli" Machang Forest Park", "Fengyuan Huludun Park", "Waipu Park".
Huahua especially likes the "Flower Dance Hall" at Houli Racecourse. The "Flower Dance Pavilion" is an indoor exhibition hall. The entire exhibition hall is composed of two circular pavilions. The large round pavilion is the "competition pavilion", which displays the floral creations of flower art masters from all over the world, and the small round pavilion is the "competition pavilion". "Orchid Hall", in addition to large-scale orchid sea creations, you can also see a variety of orchids.

* Knock on the blackboard, because the Flower Dance Hall has a concentrated collection of works and is a greenhouse-type flower room building, there will be a lot of people here. Everyone should follow the on-site instructions. Indicate the viewing route. When viewing flowers, remember not to touch or pick flowers. Be a civilized flower viewer!

There is also a dining area on the second floor of the Flower Dance Hall. After visiting the Flower Dance Hall, you can take a break and there are many choices for dining in the park. After eating and drinking, continue shopping. The overall venue of the Flower Expo is huge.
After the Flower Dance Hall, we took the shuttle bus to the "Forest Park" at Houli Racecourse. The forest park is located at the old military camp site. The park is full of trees and looks like a paradise in the city. The park's various exhibition halls and art decorations with the theme of natural ecological conservation allow visitors to experience nature from multiple angles.
You can find the outdoor art installation "Listen to the Sound of Blooming Flowers" at the entrance of the forest park. The theme of this flower expo is inspired by this work. "Listen to the Sound of Flowers Blooming" uses a mechanical group of flowers to gradually change or bloom instantly, bringing out the visual impact of blooming flowers and the colorful vitality of blooming flowers. Visitors can walk into the flowers and wait for the flowers to bloom. When they shout, the flowers will close immediately after hearing the sound. They are as shy as mimosa , which is very interesting. "Listen to the Sound of Flowers Blooming" will have scheduled performances every day, with dynamic music and rhythm, creating a series of tricks.

Huahua also particularly likes the "Seed Boy-Falled from the World" created by artist Lin Shunlong "Seed", this large "seed" with a diameter of 12 meters is composed of flexible bamboo bends. When entering the "seed", light enters through the gaps between the bamboos, and it feels like being in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" repeatedly. . In this soft light and composition, I can’t stop taking pictures.

In addition to Houmachang Forest Park, there are also Fengyuan Huludun Park and Waipu Park. If you like flowers and nature as much as Huahua, you can definitely spend a day at the Flower Expo.
