Arbor Day

Arbor Day is a traditional holiday in the Republic of China since 1927, to commemorate the passing of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Arbor Day in the spirit of Dr. Sun has been celebrated on March 12 for this purpose.

If not for the rain, I would invite family and friends to see the cherry blossom at 無極天元宮. It's a perfect hanami day to appreciate the Yoshino Sakura in Taipei on Arbor Day.
