Alishan is a mountain famous for its beautiful sunrise and its towering views of clouds that form on the mountain slopes below. However unpredictable weather means that you may show up only to be disappointed by the view.
Tourism authorities are saving people the long trip up the mountain with a live webcast that lets people see what conditions are like before they head out.
Alishan National Scenic Area is beautiful, but the weather can be fickle. The mountain’s tourism website now provides a live view of what the weather is like. It offers a high resolution glance at conditions, and it is live 24 hours a day.
The webcast provides a 360 degree view of the area. There is also up to date weather data, including the current temperature, UV index, and air quality score. In the future, the website may also provide info on traffic conditions. All this will make planning a trip up the mountain much easier.
