Hours: 9 am-11 pm
This business focuses heavily on ornamental flowers and plants and food-bearing plants but not a lot in between. There's a great selection of fruit trees and herbs and spices as well as ornamental plants serving as gifts for business openings and other occasions. Flowers--both ornamental and for planting--feature prominently as do bamboo and bonsai-style trees. There is also an excellent selection of pots, containers and potting soils, although not a lot of gardening tools or utensils. A convenient location near the ZhongQing Freeway exit and Highway 74 means this place always has plenty of shoppers. The staff is friendly, but usually very busy, so doing your own research is recommended. Prices range from NT$10 up to NT$16,000 but the vast majority of plants fall in the affordable under-NT$1000 range. If you are shopping in western Taichung, this spot and Zhen De (see above article) are very complimentary and have surprisingly little overlap. --By Courtney Donovan Smith, translated by Anna Yang
