The most unforgettable impression that general visitors have of Taipei Aowandan is the annual red maple leaves. Usually, the maple viewing season is in autumn and winter, and you can only see the red maple leaves after a cold front passes through.
However, Taipei Aowandan not only has red maple leaves in autumn and winter, but the best maple viewing season is from March to April. This is mainly because the maple trees in Taipei Aowandan are grafted with Japanese varieties.
Due to the variety characteristics, the new buds have a period of more than a month when they are red. As the temperature gradually increases and is affected by rainfall, the chlorophyll changes, and the leaves gradually turn green from red. In addition, there are also multiple varieties with different colors.
