Finally found the trees that grow those cute red fruits (aril) are called yew, genus Taxus.
They are very poisonous - the leaves can kill the cattle and horses that eat the plants, but the fruits are harmless to birds and allow them to be eaten and dispersed. I wonder if humans can eat the fruits too.
Yew.Taxus 中文叫紫杉
