Taitung Red Leaf Village

　　Taitung County’s Red Leaf Village gets its name from the vast expanse of maple trees covering the surrounding mountains. The area is scattered with settlements of the Bunun indigenous people, and Red Leaf Elementary School is the only elementary school in the area. The campus features a monument to the Red Leaf Little League team, evoking memories of an enduring and shining legacy. The Red Leaf River meanders through the Taitung Valley, forming the Red Leaf Valley alluvial plain. Opposite Red Leaf Elementary School lies the Luye River Valley, which is the source of the Red Leaf Hot Springs. A path just beside the school leads straight ahead for about 30 minutes on foot. Upon reaching the lower reaches of the Red Leaf River, you can find hot water seeping out from the riverbank beneath the cliff – this is what is known as the Red Leaf Hot Spring area.
