Taiwan strawberry season between December to April first. Most well known place was Dahu (大湖), Mioli (苗栗). But near by Dahu area also some farmers they grow it. And another place was Fugui (福龜), Nantou (南投). Here more strawberry farm too. In fact, you can found Strawberry farm at Taiwan every country. But few, and because few, so the price more higher than above two places. This time still more strawberry can catch at Dahu, but other places almost to the end. So, please hurry, if you love strawberry in deep.

台灣的草莓季約在12月到4月初間. 多數人熟悉的地方是苗栗大湖. 但其實大湖區域周邊也有農人們在種. 另一個地點是南投福龜. 這邊也有為數眾多的草莓園. 事實上, 台灣每一個縣市都可以找到草莓園. 但是少, 也因為少所以價格會比上述兩個地方貴. 這時間大湖還有很多的草莓可摘. 但其他地方都接近尾聲了. 所以請快些, 如果您非常喜愛草莓的話.
