夏之雪－賞油桐花海
每到四、五月份沿著中山高速公路往南，經桃、竹、苗沿線，只要往路旁一瞧，竟然出現一片雪白有如雪花飄覆於綠樹般的景致，非常特別。這可不是真的雪，而是台灣中低海拔山區常見的油桐花盛開的美景。全台灣有許多觀賞油桐花的地方，像是北台灣就有土城桐花節，但如果想定點體驗花海之美，三義的西湖度假村內有一條油桐林道，可讓你大飽眼福。
Summer Snow－Tung Oil Tree Flowers
Each year during April and May travelers on the Sun Yat-sen Freeway upon reaching the Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli area will pass by numerous trees with snow-white flowers. These are Tung oil trees, a common sight in the lower to mid-altitude regions of Taiwan. There are many places in Taiwan, where these beautiful flowers can be seen. The town of Tucheng（土城）, southwest of Taipei, even celebrates a Tung Oil Tree festival each year. One of the best places to see Tung oil trees is West Lake Resortopia recreational park in Sanyi.
