Visit Taipingshan and Watch 「Purple Maple」 in Red Leaf in Spring and Summer

Most of the Purple maples at Taipingshan are located at both sides of the central stairway. Under sunlight, its bright red leaves decorate the central stairway as an autumn tree tunnel. We recommend that visitors first walk along the central stairway upward and continue to go forward slowly into the virgin forest to sense the aroma of phytoncide discharged from Taiwan cypress.

Generally speaking, maple leaf and aceraceae leaf included will change their color when the temperature becomes cool in autumn. However, Purple maple is different. Its leaf color is always in deep purple from shoot to leaf. The leaf peeping period of Japanese maple at Taipingshan begins in April until October when its leaf begins to fall.
