Yanhong Deer Lilium, a species endemic to Taiwan, is native to Pingxi District, Xinbei City. Because of its special beautiful flower pattern and high economic value, it was overpicked in the early stage, which led to the gradual disappearance of the wild population. According to the evaluation results of the Red Book list of Taiwan vascular plants published in 2017, Yanhong Deer Lilium was rated as a national extremely dangerous plant. In recent years, the New Taipei Municipal Bureau of Agriculture has actively promoted local restoration, hoping to reproduce the scene of Pingxi Township.

In the future, it is planned to continue to expand to the old street business district, making it easier for tourists to bet on the elegant demeanor of the red deer lily.
