Every year from May to June is the hydrangea season in Yangmingshan, and in 2022, it started on May 22. Around Zhuzihu in Yangmingshan, apart from the must-see calla lilies every year, the hydrangea season is another highlight. The Gao Family Hydrangea, Jai Fu Hydrangea Garden, and Huagu Calla Lily Garden Hydrangea… these three are must-visit hydrangea fields in Yangmingshan. Each one has its own unique features, and the sea of flowers is very spectacular and beautiful, worth a visit! This article will introduce the features of these three hydrangea fields, how to get there, and teach you how to take photos with hydrangeas! Due to the pandemic this year, each flower field has also made corresponding flower viewing announcements, and you can also enjoy hydrangeas online through this record!

These three are all located around Zhuzihu and are easily accessible by bus without driving. Let’s first look at the relative locations of these three Yangmingshan hydrangea fields:

How to get to the Zhuzihu Hydrangea Field in Yangmingshan?
During the flower season, Zhuzihu will be flooded with a large number of cars. Since the roads in Zhuzihu are not very wide, it is recommended to take the bus to save time on traffic and parking. Due to the pandemic in 2022, Philos suggests that everyone first add the places they want to go to their pocket list, enjoy the flowers online this year, and go to see the flowers after the pandemic eases!

Shuiche Liao Gao Family Hydrangea Field
The Gao Family Hydrangea Farm consists of three parks, two of which are located in Zhuzihu, Yangmingshan, a popular spot for hydrangeas in Yangmingshan. The other one is located in Wanli. The first park of the Gao Family Hydrangea Farm in Shuiche Liao Trail, Zhuzihu, Yangmingshan, which Philos has visited, is the largest hydrangea farm in Yangmingshan.
Shuiche Liao Gao Family Hydrangea Farm (First Park)
Address: Next to Hutian Elementary School (No. 17-2, Zhuzihu Road, Beitou District), Shuiche Liao Trail. Take the bus to “Hutian Bridge” stop and walk to the trail.
Admission: 100 NTD.

The Shuiche Liao Gao Family Hydrangea Farm covers a large area, and the flower fields are at different heights. Although there are some popular angles for photography that may require a bit of waiting, there are many corners to shoot from. You can use the flower wall, or use the shorter hydrangeas as the foreground, or shoot from a low angle. I believe you can find a great photo angle.
Using hydrangeas as the foreground can bring out the grandeur of the hydrangea field.
Dinghu Jai Fu Hydrangea Farm
The Dinghu Jai Fu Hydrangea Farm is located in Dinghu, Zhuzihu, Yangmingshan. It is a bit far from the main hydrangea garden area of Zhuzihu, but therefore it has fewer visitors, making it more comfortable for photography. If you want to avoid the crowd during the hydrangea season in Yangmingshan, visiting the hydrangea in Dinghu, Yangmingshan is also a good choice!
Jai Fu Hydrangea Farm
Address: No. 67-10, Zhuzihu Road, Taipei City. Take the bus to “Fengjiakou” stop and walk about 10-15 minutes to reach the Dinghu Flower Viewing Circular Trail.
Admission: 100 NTD.
Website: Jai Fu Hydrangea Farm Facebook Fan Page
The planting area of hydrangeas in Jai Fu Hydrangea Farm is not small, mainly planting purple and red hydrangeas. Paired with the excellent mountain view of Dinghu, the entire purple and red hydrangea field is in full view, and it is very spectacular just by looking at it with the naked eye. It’s worth mentioning that at sunset, due to the angle of the setting sun, the hydrangeas will be dyed by the sunset, forming different sceneries. If time permits, you might want to visit at this time!
Using the hydrangea field as the foreground, you can take pictures with a more layered sense of the hydrangea field.
Huagu Calla Lily Garden Hydrangea
The Huagu Calla Lily Garden Hydrangea is located next to the Jai Fu Hydrangea Farm. You can plan to visit these two flower fields at the same time. The Huagu Calla Lily Garden Hydrangea has several landscapes, allowing visitors to take pictures with the landscapes. The most famous one is probably the natural bathtub in the flower field, which is perfect for influencers to take pictures
Huagu Calla Lily Garden Hydrangea
Address: No. 68, Zhuzihu Road, Taipei City. Take the bus to “Fengjiakou” stop and walk about 10-15 minutes to reach the Dinghu Flower Viewing Circular Trail.
Admission: 100 NTD, which can be used as a discount for consumption.
Website: Huagu Calla Lily Garden Hydrangea Facebook Fan Page
Although the Huagu Calla Lily Garden Hydrangea is famous for its calla lilies, the planting area of hydrangeas is not small. Plus, the density of hydrangea planting is relatively high, so there are many corners where you can take pictures with hydrangeas and capture the feeling of a vast flower sea.
The biggest feature of the Huagu Calla Lily Garden Hydrangea is that you can take pictures with the hydrangea sea in the artificial bathtub.
