Hong Ye is located on the west slope of the Ruei Suiei Railway station of the Hua-tong line, between Chiang-punnan Mountain and Di-chia Mountain, with Hong Ye River flowing through the southeast of the village. Pouring into Shiuku-lian River, the rivers run into the sea. In the east, it neighbors Si Village, Ruei Suei Township. Departing from Ruei Suei, there are country paths going there. In the village, there are two hot springs. One of them is on the top of Hong Ye Police Precinct, called Ruei Suei Hot Spring. And the other is at Sibao, called as Hong Ye Hot Spring, a famous hot spring in Wan-rong Township.TOP
