Elevation (Altitude): 1956 M
“1956 Maple Valley” (originally named Four Season Flower Watching Park) was reorganized by Tri-mountain National Scenic Area Administration in 2013 and 2014 and renamed after its altitude of 1956 meters. It is located 50 meters in front of Lishan Guest House and below the Zhongzheng Road roundabout of Taiwan Highway No. 8. Various kinds of flowers, trees and plants are planted along the mountain.
Visitors can enjoy maples both in autumn and spring, given that Red Nanmu and Hairy Japanese Maple both germinates red shoots in spring while the leaves of Purple Maple are in dark red color throughout the year. As for Taiwan Buerger Maple and Green Maple, although they are in light green colors by spring, they look adorably beautiful.
When visitors approach Lishan from Taiwan Highway No. 7A, they can look down at this park filled with red. To provide visitors with an outstanding and enriched traveling environment, Lishan has added many installations, such as the “Five Blessing Bell” that symbolizes the fulfillment of 5 blessing including family, career, love, wealth and health, an observation deck for visitors to overlook the Holy Ridgeline of Daxue Mountains and Central Range Mountains, a “Rainbow Fence Wall” that represents the combination of Atayal symbols and the seasonal landscapes and products of Lishan, a “Suikin Area” that provides a resonating vibration for the soul and mountain, a “Wisteria Shelf” that helps visitors to further understand the culture of Atayal aborigines, “Star Watching Chair” for admiring the beauty of stars and many other sight-seeing facilities and special plants.
