三星過好年 Chinese New Year in SanShing

在三星,每年的農曆過年都會有一連串的活動,以今年(蛇年)為例,在三星真的外圍,就有以蛇連為主題的布置,以及銀柳隧道。逛完了三星市區之後,可以繼續往山區的天送埤,牛鬥,松羅方向走,沿路都是盛開的櫻花。在三星,櫻花的花期大概在每年的二月,剛好遇上了農曆過年,也讓三星增色不少

There are various activities during the Chinese New Year in SanShing area each year, as this "Snake Year" as example, there are all different kind of decorations which are snake related. Also, we use the special food, plants from SanShing to do the decoration. After you are done with SanShing Town, you can go further west to TianSongPi, NiuDou, and SongLuo, while you are on the way, you can see a lot of Cherry Blossoms along the way. In SanShing, the period for cherry blossoms is around February, which is about the time for Chinese New Year. The cherry blossoms can bring more tourist to the area.
