Sanqi Beauty Trail guide: rice seasons, painted fields, transport and photo route

Plan Dongshan Sanqi Beauty Trail from official sources: understand green, painted, turning-gold, golden and post-harvest fields, then link Fengzun Temple’s deck with photos, cycling and book-ahead river activities.

Current season: not verified

As of 31 July 2026, official pages do not provide enough current evidence to say whether fields remain painted, have turned golden or have been harvested, so this guide does not infer the colour.

冬山三奇美徑

Before your first visit

The official name is 冬山三奇美徑 (Dongshan Sanqi Beauty Trail); 宜蘭伯朗大道 is its common official alias, and the road runs between Fengzun Temple and Xiesong Road.

The fields are not golden all year: planting, green rice, painted rice, colour change, harvest and post-harvest each create a different farm landscape.

宜蘭黃金大稻 is only a seasonal search phrase, not the attraction’s official name; check the year’s notice and field conditions before leaving.
