It is a name that lives up to its reputation to this day as the nation just above the Philippines remains a beautiful country in any season, especially come around springtime when flowers are abloom.
TAINAN, Taiwan — Portuguese sailors once noted that the island they spotted, which is now called Taiwan, as Ilha Formosa or beautiful island in Portuguese.
Tainan, its old capital, is home to a famous road known for its fiery kapok trees that when their flowers are in full bloom provide a canopy of bright, red-orange flowers extending from the branches of trees neatly lined along the road. It could definitely be a setting for a romance series or flick like the Korean drama "Endless Love." In this garden, roses of every color, from the immaculate white, dainty yellows, pretty pinks to purplish blooms, are neatly planted in three types of gardens.
