Fields of orange daylilies bloom on Kinchen Mountain in Taitung
2025-10-02
Hundreds of bright orange daylilies are blooming in Taitung’s Taimali Township. While many flowers were destroyed by Typhoon Podul in August, these flowers came out unscathed, as they grow at a lower altitude and bloom later in the season. Visitors from around Taiwan are flocking to the mountainside to behold fields of these orange blossoms.
Bright orange daylilies are in full bloom, their petals curved outward to proudly reveal their stamen. This is what Kinchen Mountain in Taitung’s Taimali Township currently looks like.
A sea of flowers stretches over the mountainside like a golden carpet. The air is filled with the scent of blooming flowers, bringing smiles to people’s faces as they walk through the field. Many people make the trip to Taitung and hike up the mountain just to appreciate this beautiful sight.

Because Typhoon Podul made landfall in Taimali this year, and since the valley lies directly on the windward side, the flowers in Wangyou Valley were hit especially hard. The damage was also more severe in the north-facing area near Qianhe Pavilion.
The daylilies started blooming at Shuangru Peak at the end of August this year. Unfortunately, due to Typhoon Podul, flowers on the windward-facing side of the mountain were almost all destroyed. But on the mountain’s leeward side, these bright orange flowers bloomed in full force.

This year due to Typhoon Podul, some of the early season flowers were destroyed, but the later flowers bloomed as usual. Some weren’t picked, so you can see them.

The blooming season can last until November and there will still be some flowers.
Taking advantage of these fields of blooming daylilies, local restaurants have incorporated the flowers into their dishes. Those who visit Kinchen Mountain this October can enjoy these flowers through both sight and taste.

台東太麻里金針山花季登場 背風面花海盛開迎遊客
2025-10-02
最近正值台東太麻里的金針花花季，之前因為楊柳颱風有部分金針花被摧毀，不過低海拔的金針花比較晚綻放，此時正是背風面的金針花季，不少民眾前來觀賞滿山遍野的橘色花朵。
細緻的花蕊絲絲分明，鮮橘透亮。花瓣邊緣微微捲曲，細緻的紋理清晰可見，這裡是台東太麻里的金針花海。
一片花海如同鋪展在大地上的金色地毯，波浪般起伏。行走其中，空氣中彌漫著淡淡的花香，令人心曠神怡。不少民眾特地來到台東太麻里金針山，沿著樓梯緩緩攀登，只為了細細欣賞這片美麗的花海。

“因為今年有楊柳颱風從太麻里登陸，因為它剛好在山凹處的地方，它剛好直接迎風面，所以今年忘憂谷的花，就全部被打得非常嚴重，跟千鶴亭面朝北面比較嚴重。”
今年較高海拔的雙乳峯從8月底就開始盛開金針花，但是受到楊柳颱風影響，迎風面的金針花幾乎被掃光，但背風面的金針花展現堅韌的生命力，花開片地。

"我是因為今年楊柳颱風有影響到，前期的有被打一點掉，後面的花有照常開。有一些沒有採的，都看得到。"

“所以它延伸可以到11月份，都還是會有些許的花。”
除了遍野的金針花開，附近的攤商也將金針花料理端上餐桌，10月民眾不妨走一趟台東太麻里金針山，不僅可以看到耀眼的金針花海，也能品嘗道地的金針花料理。
