The Maliko Bay Stream basin is a fertile river terrace with a mild climate. The Saisiyat people, who have lived here for generations, did not resist the Atayal Wutai and other tribal groups, and established their first settlement in the Tamsui River system — Zhenshibao. Maliko Bay Stream is a secluded maple viewing spot rarely visited by people. As the seasons shift, the colorful, dreamlike maple flames take center stage in nature, setting the trend for the season, waiting for travelers to experience a beautiful encounter.
