Watching the suspension sunset has become a popular travel trend and hot topic among many tourists and locals. Beyond residents, traveling elsewhere to chase these spectacular sunsets is also a great joy. The Central Weather Bureau even provides suspension sunset forecasts to help visitors enjoy them at the best possible time and location.

In Kaohsiung City, sections of Youth Roads 1 and 2 (west of Minquan 1st Road), as well as in Nantou County, sections of Minzu Road (west of Nanyang Road), will offer views of the suspension sunset from November 8 to 10 (Friday to Sunday) in the evening, provided skies are clear. Below are the specific optimal viewing times.

November 8: 16:43–17:03
November 9: 16:46–17:06
November 10: 16:48–17:08

 
During the forecast period, the sunset will occur roughly 2 to 3 minutes later each day compared to the previous one at the center of the mentioned streets, and its elevation angle will also be slightly lower. On cloudless days, the suspension sunset will be viewable for about 10 minutes before and after the sun is centered over these street locations.

When viewing, please note that although the suspension sunset is a beautiful sunset scene, the sunlight can sometimes be very intense. Avoid staring directly at the sun for extended periods; wear dark-tinted sunglasses to protect your eyes from strong light. Also, pay special attention to traffic flow, road conditions, and your own safety when watching the sunset from the street.
