Taiwan Cherry in bloom

I saw the beautiful Taiwan Cherry that was in bloom just in front of gate of a Buddhist temple. It was now best time to see. This scenery is one of the pride of our city.　That's why we recommend there as a sightseeing spot.　There is also a shop for souvenirs in the precincts of this temple.
