I'm giving this place a qualified four stars on account of the scenic part of the garden only.
A friend of my wife and I took our party of four there on a cloudy weekday slightly over an hour before closing time in late March 2022.
As I had no expectation going in, I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is.
The place is relatively small judging by the standard of a botanical garden so there isn't a lot to see. The advantage, on the other hand, is that it can be visited in entirety within an hour or so.
As with visiting a tourist attraction of this ilk, one's experience is heavily affected by the crowd, or lack thereof. My favorable impression of this place is highly influenced by the fact that there were only a handful of other tourists during our visit.
The hydrangeas were in season during our visit. The proprietor had done an admirable job arranging the flower pots in layers and at different heights which presented a very colorful tapestry all around the garden.
There are a number of plant varieties available for sale and they all look quite healthy. The asking prices may seem reasonable as compared to what one has to pay in Taipei, I later found that the prices of similar items are 50% cheaper at nurseries in nearby towns.
While the restaurant setting is attractive, our party did not partake in dining nor beverage during our visit so I cannot comment on the quality of culinary offerings. My wife and I did use the merchandise credit to sample a rose flavored and a chocolate ice cream. Both of the ice cream were underwhelming.
The policy of only allowing the redemption of one ticket on one merchandise is overly restrictive that only serves to irritate visitors.
In summary, this place is worth visiting when flowers are blooming, there is no crowd, and shopping is not the...

Our room was not only spotless but also so cozy, and the little touches—like the handmade bath salts and essential oil diffuser—made all the difference. We slept so well and felt completely relaxed. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious, and the Foot Steam Therapy was such a unique and soothing experience. Walking around the beautiful grounds, surrounded by vibrant flowers, was a treat in itself. We also had so much fun making our own essential oil moisturizer! But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff—so warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming. If you're looking for a peaceful escape in Miaoli, this is...
Read moreThe park has pleasant scenery and fresh air is so relaxing. Walk through it, feel the peace and peace of nature, and it will be unforgettable. Unfortunately, this season, the hydrangeas bloomed little, slightly thin. However, you can still appreciate the delicate posture of other flowers and feel the careful arrangement of the park. The visitors are woven, showing the charm of this place. Although the price is slightly higher, I believe that the park will continue to improve the quality of service. Looking forward to enjoying more blooming sea of hydrangea next time. We hope to have more diverse activities in the future to attract tourists of...
