Miaoli is one of Taiwan’s most picturesque rural counties. At this time of year, a community in Tongxiao Township is enjoying a special winter treat. It’s an avenue of bald cypress trees near Tucheng River. The trees are famous for the russet-red color of their fall foliage. Local photographers spend hours capturing the reds, yellows and greens as the colors mingle in December.
Here in Miaoli’s Tongxiao Township, a road winds along the Tucheng River bank. On this stretch between Tongtian Temple and Tiaoyan Ancient Trail, two kilometers of the road is planted with bald cypresses on both sides, creating a magical winter avenue.
The cypresses are gradually turning auburn. They form an arc along river here, and set off the beautiful deep green forest and blue sky.

They change their color in early December. When the season is changing, there’s green, red and yellow – it’s beautiful.
Local residents say the bald cypresses here were planted years ago, as part of a village transformation project.
Local resident
I feel so happy and easeful when I see them. It really is so wonderful that Tongxiao has a beauty spot like this.
Local photography buffs shared these photos and drone footage of the area. The residents of Tongxiao hope more visitors will come and check out the riverside avenue while the leaves are at their loveliest.
