One of the best places to enjoy the sunrise in Taiwan is Taiping Mountain. To encourage visitors to come ring in the New Year there, the local national forest park is giving out New Year's Day bookmarks.
The sunrise on Yilan County's Taiping Mountain is a breathtaking sight of changing lights and colors. This high-up view is what makes the mountain a popular destination, especially on New Year's Day, as the first light of the year appears over the horizon.
In addition to the sunrise, you can also view a sea of clouds from nearly 2000 meters above sea level.
You can also enjoy the famous train which runs through the mountains.
On January 1, 2021, Taiping Mountain Forest Park will be open at 3am to let early birds start the New Year with one of Taiwan’s most beautiful sunrise views. The park is giving away free cherry blossom bookmarks to celebrate the beginning of 2021. Cherry blossom season in late March is another great time to visit one of Taiwan’s most popular mountains.
