Xinshe Sea of Flowers Festival (新社花海) [Travel in Taiwan 171119: Blooming Autumn - Taichung]

style="text-align: start;">Xinshe Sea of
Flowers.  The most beautiful place in Taiwan during the autumn season.  Have you been here
before? I have written two travelogues about this flower festival in the last two years and I think I did
my best in marketing Taichung to my blog readers.   Haha!  The festival this year
was still full of flowers but I noticed that something was missing and I was wondering why.

The field of cosmos was still there but the
large tall structures adorned with various flowers were nowhere to be seen.   As far as
I know, the Xinshe Sea of Flowers has a theme every year which makes the festivity different each year. 
If you check the photos on the internet, you might find a castle.  In 2015, the central figure was
a heart-shaped structure wherein entering inside you will be taken inside a kaleidoscope world. 
I remember entering that dome with Travel Buddy Kiran and we had lots of fun while looking at ourselves in
the mirror.  Last year when I went with Travel Buddy Teklu, there were also pavilions to explore.

It was a good thing that Travel Buddy Adcel and Travel Buddy
Graciella enjoyed taking photos with the pink and white blossoms.  It was their first time to visit
Taiwan and they might be thinking that this is the best that Xinshe can offer to them.   The
whole place was still beautiful only that the flowers had become less compared to last year.

style="text-align: center;">Cherry blossoms in November!
/>One notable difference this year is the vast field of kaoliang or sorghum which is made into wine. 
In my past visits, the area near the shuttle bus parking area was a big field of flowers.  This
year, the kaoliang replaced the beautiful orange flowers there. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!  The carpet of marigold
was no longer a carpet. Sigh! But despite the disappointing changes in Xinshe, the sight of cherry blossoms
made my visit interesting.  Sakuras in Taiwan usually blossom in February.  Their early
appearance meant that the trees had mistaken the cold weather in Taichung as already in springtime.   style="text-align: justify;">
