The Beauty-Bark bursts into bloom just as autumn turns to winter, when most other flowers are scarce; its canopy erupts in a blaze of pink, so vivid that it has earned the nickname “Autumn Cherry-blossom.” At Beidou Riverside Park, Changhua County, hundreds of these trees follow the winding course of the Dongluo Stream; their pendant branches brush the water, and the bridges mirror the flowering shadows in a scene of quiet poetry. Hailed as the premier sight of Beidou, the display draws blossom-chasers from across the island who stand breathless in admiration. Another favorite is the “pink waterfall” formed by the Beauty-Bark avenue beside Xiangtian Elementary School in Erlin, a magnet for social-media photographers.
