But did you know that the humble, little country of Taiwan also has some stunning cherry blossoms of its own? I dare say that it can even rival Japan’s cherry blossoms.

There are actually a lot of places in Taiwan where you can view cherry blossoms but in this post, I will share with you where you can find the ‘pinkest’ cherry blossoms in Taiwan.

Everywhere we looked, we were bound to see some pretty pink flowers from all directions. How beautiful it was is beyond description! Walking around the park during this time was truly spectacular—it certainly gave us an illusion that we were in a sea of pink. While there were a lot of people, it was easy for us to find our peaceful spot in the park as it was huge and expansive! The park is well-designed so anyone can experience the roman in the air and take a lot of beautiful photos as well. For a girl like me who truly loves pink, experiencing the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Formosan Aboriginal Village was such a magical and dreamy moment. Imagine this: You are walking around a beautiful cherry path; your trail is surrounded by blossoming pinks as the gentle breeze of spring touches you; the cherry blossoms petals flutter around as you pass by. If this looks like the perfect dream for you, then the Formosan Aboriginal Village is the perfect spot to make it a reality. Once we get tired of walking, we rode the ropeway or cable car and from there, we saw the whole amusement park in full color—it was an explosion of red, pink, and scarlet

Across the Aboriginal territory, you’ll find traditional paintings made by the them and which speak of their understanding of the world and of its creation, The Dreamtime. According to the Aboriginal people and their Dreaming stories, their old ancestors emerged from the earth as supernatural beings, creating every part of nature such as all the existing animals, trees, rocks, rivers, plants, that we know today.

I live in Tarneit, which is next to Truganina and near the Werribee River. Thousands of years ago this land was lived on by 3 separate aboriginal clans; Marpeang bulluk tribe, Watha wurrung and the kurung jang balluk tribes which were all a part of the greater Kulin Nations. The 3 clans were bordered by the Werribee River and spoke different languages.

“Come on, guys,” I yelled at my family, which consists of my mom Madonna, my father John, and my two sisters Alissa and Kara, as I ran frantically across the jam-packed parking lot to the opening gate that led to a world of adventure. As wide as the world around, my eyes pierced at the doorway to a world of fun. Families, of all sizes, were enjoying all the possibilities of fun. Hearing laughter and frightening screams, warned me of the experience waiting for me within the doorway to everlasting amazement. The sweet baked smell of funnel cakes swarmed into the fresh morning air. Before I knew it, my family and I were ready to enter Valleyfair, an amusement park that offers summertime fun to the maximum.

In "Kew Gardens," the narrator follows different visitors to the gardens, giving the reader brief snapshots of their lives through small descriptions as they reach the same flowerbed. The story begins with a description of the oval-shaped flowerbed. The flowers are red, yellow, and blue. They have petals that are heart or tongue shaped. As the petals fall to the ground, they stain the earth with these colors for a moment. Petals from the flowers soar through the sky in the summer breeze. The flowers' colors flash in the air. On this July day, men, women, and children walk through the gardens. As the people move through the gardens, their movements resemble butterflies. They zigzag in all directions to get a better view of the flowers.

The National Park Service is making no promises, but barring a catastrophic petal-scattering storm, it appears there will be enough blossoms around on April 9th to avoid total embarrassment at this years parade.
Last autumn, while on a trip, I decided to walk through a State Forest. This huge forest enriches the countryside not far from town and was a place where indians held hunting rights until recently. Little streams, ancient trees, shaded paths, and hidden places are some of the physical attributes which make the State Forest an enchanting place.
