Taiwan in April

March to May and the temperatures gradually rise in Taiwan, seeing the start of beautiful spring weather, warm and just a little wet.  Average temperatures are usually between 15ºC and 27ºC (58-79ºF), with rainfall about 50 mm per month for the season. March is the beginning of the cherry blossom season and the bright pinks are a joy to watch slowly come into bloom, particularly in the pristine mountain town of Alishan in the south, with its forests, tea plantations and ancient Aboriginal villages. Kenting National Park in the tropical south is also superb at this time of year, encompassing beautiful beaches and low mountains, ancient villages, natural protected areas, and sleepy fishing harbors.

Taichung City Mazu International Festival

April

This huge religious festival, which marks the start and end of the famous 186-mile Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage, could actually be considered as more of mass party for the central Taiwanese city of Taichung. Firecrackers, free food and drink, music and crazy processions all help to create the celebratory atmosphere over a month of mayhem.

Penghu County, comprised of a gorgeous collection of islands dotted around the Taiwan Strait, draws in thousands of visitors with its annual fireworks festival.

The huge outdoor Spring Wave Music and Art Festival is Taiwan’s answer to Glastonbury, with none of the mud.
