Compared to those Ali Mt. tourist spots which are at the high altitude, the elevation of Le-Yê is only around 1200 meters. For those visitors who couldn’t stand the highland climate, Le-Yê is a beautiful and fantastic choice for them. Zou Aborigines name Le-Yê as “ Lalawuya”, which means maple trees. In the past, there were maple trees covering all the mountains. Even until now the sign showing the entrance to the Le-Yê community is still decorated with patterns of maple leaves. Recently, Le-Yê, where is suitable for developing highland agriculture, starts to grow and export tea leaves and wasabi; as a consequence, tea tree gardens gradually replace the scenery of maple woods.

Le-Yê is also the biggest phalaenopsis (sometimes know as “butterfly orchids”) growing place in Taiwan, possessing great phalaenopsis cultivating techniques and environment for it. In fact, almost all the phalaenopsis grown on plains needs to be “forced flowering” by Le-Yê’s highland climate in order to make the blossoms more beautiful. Visitors can come to Le-Yê before the Chinese New Year to appreciate the “Queen of the Orchids” and purchase some flower for the new year. In addition, most of Ali Mt.‘s farm produce are originated from the villages at low altitude, so in Le-Yê, visitors can purchase not only phalaenopsis but also an versatile assortment of agricultural products.

In Le-Yê Village, there are two old path crossing the woods and rivers in the mountain. One named Fu-Shan old path spans about 5km and passes through dense forests and the Mi-Yang brook. Birds and flocks, firs and bamboos, plus the clean air there, all comprise the abundant contents of this life environment.
