The Most Romantic Calla Lily Destination - Bamboo Lake (Zhuzihu)
Bamboo Lake (Zhuzihu) is located within Yangmingshan National Park at an elevation of approximately 650-670 meters. Embraced by Mt. Xiaoguanyin to the north, Mt. Qixing (Seven Star Mountain) to the east, and Mt. Datun to the west, the area offers spectacular mountain scenery with lush greenery and occasional mist drifting through. Bamboo Lake, cradled by mountains and clouds, is like a green oasis bestowed by nature, quietly nestled in Yangmingshan. During flower season, romance fills this blessed land, beautifying the mountain landscape. Every year, making a pilgrimage to see the calla lilies at Bamboo Lake is a major event in my life. Holding a bunch of calla lilies gently in my arms, immersed in this dreamlike valley, simply gazing at the mountain views and admiring the hillsides covered with calla lilies brings an indescribable sense of contentment.

Harvesting Calla Lilies in Chest Waders is So Therapeutic - The Best Calla Lily Field Worth Visiting in Bamboo Lake, with Admission and Transportation Guide
Every spring, traveling to Bamboo Lake, the hillsides covered with snow-white calla lilies look like white sprites dancing among the mountains - the most romantic scenery. The changing seasons create Bamboo Lake's ever-changing appearance, with cherry blossoms, calla lilies, hydrangeas, and daylilies blooming in succession. The mist that casually drifts down, the serene mountain trails, and simply breathing in Bamboo Lake's fresh air all carry a romantic atmosphere.

This year I visited [Jai Fu Calla Lily Garden] in Bamboo Lake. This place differs from other calla lily fields, preserving the simplicity of traditional farmland. The calla lily field nestles against Xiaoguanyin sulfur vents, with magnificent mountain ridges and soft green-and-white tones weaving an intoxicating tapestry across the mountains. What makes this place special is that you can wear chest waders to harvest calla lilies in the field. This adorable experience makes visiting Bamboo Lake absolutely worthwhile. Walking into the calla lily field and hand-picking flowers yourself, they seem even more beautiful and fragrant. This year, they've also set up the [Time Station], placing a time frame installation in the middle of the calla lily field. Your body becomes the hands of the clock, and you decide which moment in time you want to capture. The snow-white circle seems to frame eternity, adding a unique touch to the calla lily harvesting experience. This season's most romantic encounter is at Bamboo Lake. The calla lily season starts on March 18, and wearing chest waders to harvest calla lilies requires advance reservation. This adorable activity is absolutely worth experiencing. The flowers are all in bloom now, waiting for you to come and meet the calla lilies.

Jai Fu Calla Lily Garden is a wetland-type calla lily garden, with calla lilies planted in paddy fields.
Jai Fu Calla Lily Garden is a wetland-type calla lily garden, with calla lilies planted in paddy fields. Perhaps due to the mountain's moisture and spring water irrigation, the calla lilies here feel even more beautiful and vibrant. The valley filled with calla lilies is truly stunning - even without going into the field, simply strolling along the ridges is wonderful. The mountain breeze and flower fragrance create the most romantic atmosphere here. Because I love Bamboo Lake so much, I come up the mountain several times every year. I often chat with the owners of many flower fields and find that people living in Bamboo Lake have an optimistic and cheerful personality. They plant flowers according to the seasons; the colors of the flowers test the seasonal climate and also test the resilience of the flower field owners. Every inch of the beautiful flower fields we see is the result of farmers' hard work.

According to the shop's Facebook page, "Jai Fu" is named after the grandfather's name. From traditional farming to leisure experience services, it preserves the landscape of ordinary farmland within Yangmingshan National Park. Harvesting calla lilies brings "fortune and blessings" (Jai Fu sounds like "fortune" in Chinese) - isn't it worth coming to bring this blessing home?With the mountain's moisture and spring water irrigation, the calla lilies here feel even more beautiful and vibrant!
Jai Fu Calla Lily Garden doesn't have excessive Instagram-worthy art installations. Perhaps because of this, visitors can simply and leisurely appreciate the calla lilies. Stripped of tourist packaging, the down-to-earth chest wader field experience is even more valuable. It's hard for most people to imagine what it feels like to walk in a flower field, or to have experienced picking flowers in a paddy field. These experiences are rare and precious. The owner has filled an entire flower field with beauty, making it truly worth experiencing firsthand.The garden has outdoor dining areas.

Jai Fu Calla Lily Garden - A Wetland Calla Lily Field in the Valley

I arrived at Jai Fu Calla Lily Garden around noon that day. Fortunately, the timing was perfect - there weren't many visitors, only the owner in chest waders tending to the calla lilies in the paddy field. I've been coming to Bamboo Lake for about 10 years but had never tried wearing chest waders. I really wanted to experience what it feels like to be in a paddy field. There are walkways beside the calla lily field where you can freely walk around and take photos. Just don't get too carried away and fall into the paddy field - that wouldn't be romantic at all.

The Frame of Time - Capturing the Most Beautiful Eternity
Every calla lily season, various calla lily fields compete to create Instagram-worthy photo spots. This year, Jai Fu is preparing to build a [Frame that Captures Time] - a white circular installation that will be placed in the middle of the calla lily field. Visitors can sit on the installation and use their bodies to indicate their favorite time on the clock face.The white circular installation called 'Frame that Captures Time' - use your body to indicate your favorite time for photos.
I arrived too early that day, and the installation was only half complete. The shop kindly allowed me to take photos in the field - it will definitely be even more beautiful when placed among the flowers. I thought the chest waders would be heavy, but they come in various sizes. Ladies, it's recommended to wear shorts before putting on the chest waders, which makes walking easier.
The advantage of wearing chest waders is getting a bit closer to the flower field. Between two rows of flowers, there's a path for visitors to enter and pick flowers. You can pick six flowers at a time. The flower field owner will teach you how to pick them - turn your palm downward and pull the flower firmly. When you pull it out, you'll hear a curious "pop" sound - it's quite fun! Unlike many Instagram-focused flower fields, wearing chest waders to harvest calla lilies is so much fun. Kicking through the mud in the paddy field, moving slowly like a frog, and pulling out any calla lily you like - this kind of romance is unique to just a few calla lily fields in Bamboo Lake.Remember to wash your feet and body after harvesting calla lilies.The owner helps rinse off the mud. Remember to wash your feet and body after harvesting calla lilies. If you still have time, you can keep wearing the chest waders and take photos around the area.The chest waders are so cute - I really didn't want to take them off.

Gazing at the steam rising from Xiaoguanyin sulfur vents from the flower field is truly romantic! Facing the magnificent Datun Mountain range, enjoying the freshness of the mountains, surrounded by calla lilies - this kind of romance can only be experienced at Bamboo Lake. Even if you don't pick flowers, you can still take photos around the garden or pose with calla lily bouquets purchased from the shop, creating the beauty of being among the flowers.The pure white elegance of calla lilies always captures my heart.
This season, all the flowers are in bloom. The pure white elegance of calla lilies always captures my heart. My love for calla lilies even surpasses the colorful hydrangeas or pink cherry blossoms - I've always had a special fondness for them. Their understated elegance and pure appearance gently embrace the mountain breeze. Just watching the calla lilies sway in the wind brings such a sense of happiness.

[Tsao Wonderland] A Secret Enclave Hidden Away in Yangmingshan - Flower and Herb Afternoon Tea Table Arrangement, A Leisurely Stroll in the Flower Field
Bamboo Lake's colors change with the seasons, painting this hillside with different beautiful hues. March and April mark calla lily season, with each flower field's calla lilies blooming competitively. While Bamboo Lake's largest flower field - [Tsao Wonderland] - may not have calla lilies in its tiered garden, the tranquility here is exceptionally beautiful. The hydrangeas in the flower field are preparing to grow strong, and the entire stretch of green valley has unexpectedly become the most serene spot in Bamboo Lake. The owner of Tsao Wonderland is a florist who has skillfully created a dreamy cottage. Here, you can personally pick flowers and herbs from the valley to decorate your own exclusive dining table, or learn dried flower arrangement from the owner.
