Meiling Scenic Area: January is the perfect time to enjoy the plum blossoms!

The best place to see plum blossoms in the south is the Meiling Scenic Area. The plum blossoms are in full bloom right now, so I took a trip to Meiling in Nansi, Tainan before it started raining. I was lucky enough to catch the plum blossoms in full bloom. However, the plum blossoms are quite small and not as clustered as cherry blossoms. Their color is pure white and not very bright, making them difficult to photograph. Close-up shots are the best option, but the best experience is to appreciate them with your eyes! In winter, you can enjoy the plum blossoms, in spring, the fireflies, and in summer, the tung blossoms. Meiling is not just for flower viewing; there are also several hiking trails, such as the Meifeng Ancient Trail and the Meilong Trail, which are about 2 kilometers long and quite easy to walk. If you're lucky, you might even see the sea of clouds in the mountains, which is incredibly beautiful! However, the only way to get there is by driving yourself, as public transportation in Tainan, especially in the mountainous areas, is not very convenient.
