  • The central staircase area features a tunnel of vibrant purple-red leaves from the purple-leafed maple trees, creating a stunning visual spectacle.
  • The purple-leafed maples, averaging 40 years old, will continue to display their fiery colors until September.

The Liberty Times is delighted to report on the breathtaking natural beauty now gracing Taipingshan.

Following essential repairs that led to a temporary partial closure, the national forest recreation area has fully reopened, much to the joy of visitors. The star attraction this season is undoubtedly the "red leaf tunnel" formed by the stunning purple-red foliage of the purple-leafed maple trees lining the central staircase at the Taipingshan Villa. This vibrant display, resembling autumn maple leaves, offers a spectacular sight for all who visit.

These mature trees, some averaging 40 years old, are expected to showcase their brilliant colors, intensified by sunlight, through September. The timing of the reopening, coinciding with the peak of this natural spectacle, ensures that visitors can fully appreciate the scenic beauty. This natural wonder provides a unique and accessible experience for those seeking to immerse themselves in Taiwan's stunning landscapes, offering a picturesque escape that rivals the beauty of autumn foliage.
