Black tea with honey scent is not made by processing, but is a masterpiece after the small green leafhopper bites the tea, but the honey-scented red leaves are only produced in summer, because the quantity is small, the price is naturally on the high side. Luye is not only the tea hometown of Taitung, but also the hometown of coffee. The history of growing coffee in Taitung can be traced back to the period of Japanese occupation. In the first year, the Japanese introduced coffee from Java, Indonesia, and planted it in Hengchun. Three years later, the coffee was harvested and spread to Taitung, Hualien and other places. Until the Republic of China, there were nearby coffee gardens in Taitung County. Today, Luye Township has replanted coffee, and Luye Coffee has officially entered the Taiwan coffee market.

Although Luye has long been famous for its Fulu tea, tourism has developed relatively late, and residential accommodation in the tea village has been developed in recent years, but the largest resort hotel is the Luming Hot Spring Hotel, which stands next to the Taiwan-Kowloon Highway. The hotel is elegant and beautiful, with quiet and charming pastoral scenery, leading tourists to visit the amorous feelings of Luye.
