[2025 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for Kao's Hydrangea Garden No. 2 (Updated Jun)

After cherry blossoms, azaleas, and calla lilies, Yangmingshan now welcomes the hydrangea season. This year, the hydrangea bloom runs from May 23 to June 22. If you're a fan of hydrangeas, don't miss this limited-time floral spectacle. The hydrangea fields are located around Zhuzihu, with notable spots including Datiantian, Caojia, Gaojia, and Caifu. Each location offers its own unique charm, with entrance fees ranging from NT$100 to NT$200. At Gaojia, the entrance fee is NT$200, which includes a NT$100 voucher for purchases within the park. This is one of the most popular flower fields, and the owner frequently updates the bloom status on their Facebook page. Walking paths are thoughtfully arranged between the flower fields, allowing visitors to take photos without disturbing one another. The color of hydrangeas depends on the soil's pH level. Acidic soil produces blue or light blue flowers, while alkaline soil results in purple or red blooms. It's said that neutral soil can grow white hydrangeas, though pure white ones are rarely seen in the park. According to staff, only the central 3 cm of a hydrangea is the actual flower, while the beautiful outer parts are sepals. Nowadays, there are hundreds of hydrangea varieties available. During the flower season, traffic restrictions are in place at Yangmingshan. Visitors are advised to take public transportation. 📍Gaojia Hydrangea Second Garden Address: No. 112, Zhuzihu Road, Beitou District, Taipei City 🕰️ Opening Hours: 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM 🚗 From Taipei Main Station, take bus 260 to Yangmingshan Terminal; from Jiantan, take Red 5; from Beitou Station, take Small 9—all stop at the terminal, within walking distance.

This time I went to Beitou, Taipei to see hydrangeas😍 Gao's Hydrangea Field has 3 areas, and this time I went to the second area! (Each area has slightly different flower conditions and prices) I went on 23/7, and many hydrangeas had already started to wither(՞ •̥㉦•̥՞) I recommend visiting early in the season for better flower conditions! This year's flower season is from 15/7 to 20/7 (so I was a few days late) Their official IG @gaojiaxiuqiuhuatian regularly updates flower conditions and prices~ The entrance fee is 100 TWD, about $25 HKD! (So cheap) Flower lovers, don't miss it!!! About transportation🚗 The transportation there is quite troublesome. I took an Uber directly from Taipei to the hydrangea field. The price was about 812 TWD, roughly 200 HKD per trip. The place is quite remote. I originally planned to call an Uber back to Taipei after taking photos, but I found it very difficult to get a car back😣 In the end, I asked the driver if he was willing to wait for us to finish taking photos and then take us back down. We took photos for about 30-40 minutes before leaving. (Not every driver is willing, so it's better to hire a car/drive yourself! We also gave the driver a small tip~) By the way, the mountain road up there is quite winding, so be careful when driving! Address: Gao's Hydrangea Field

First time to Taiwan to see flowers, coincided with embroidery flower season, chartered a day's car to Gaojia Embroidery Garden, admission 200 per person, but will be more than 100 to earn vouchers on site use, spend many places are large enough, definitely worth the entrance fee, but it is in the mountains, no car is not very convenient. #embroidery #Taipei attractions #chartered day trip
