Taipei Aowanda Introduction
For those who love the red maple leaves on Yangmingshan, there’s no need to travel far to Canada or Japan; Taipei Aowanda, located nearby, offers a beautiful visual delight. You can enjoy the maple viewing here without having to wait for the autumn and winter seasons. In spring, from March to April, you can appreciate the stunning red maple scenery throughout the garden, which includes various plants such as pines, cherry trees, cypress, maples, and camellias, all cultivated from seedlings. Each species has its unique shape, with black pines and maples being the most prevalent and representative plants of Taipei Aowanda. General visitors are often most impressed by the yearly maple leaves. The usual maple viewing season occurs in the autumn and winter, often requiring a cold wave to witness the red leaves. However, Taipei Aowanda not only has red leaves in the autumn and winter; the best time for viewing the maple is from March to April, primarily because the maples in Taipei Aowanda are grafted from Japanese varieties. Due to the characteristics of the species, their young shoots are red for over a month, but as temperatures gradually rise and with the influence of rainfall, the chlorophyll changes from red to green. Additionally, there are variations in colors from multiple species. (Source: Taipei Aowanda Facebook)
