#4? 2020 Alishan New Year’s Eve Sunrise
On New Year’s Eve 2020, we hopped on the Zhushan Sightseeing Train. The carriages were crowded, and everyone was well-prepared for the cold—down jackets, blankets, and quilts all came out. But there wasn’t a single complaint, only anticipation and enthusiasm. After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the final stop—Zhushan Station.
Once out of the station, our sunrise itinerary naturally led us to the classic Zhushan Observation Deck to welcome the first light of 2020 together. A hint of crimson gradually appeared on the horizon, heightening our excitement as we looked forward to the golden rays of dawn lighting up our faces.
#5 Snow Mountain Golden Sacred Ridge Line Sunrise
After reviewing the most spectacular sunrise spots in Northern Taiwan, we found that the Golden Sacred Ridge Line at Snow Mountain Farm is absolutely breathtaking. The Sacred Ridge Line connects Snow Mountain to the group of peaks around Dabajianshan, stretching 15 kilometers with altitudes all above 3,000 meters. When golden sunlight illuminates the entire mountain ridge, creating the legendary Golden Sacred Ridge, the majestic view is almost like something straight out of a movie!

The moment the sun rises over the peaks, the dazzling rays warming your face are simply moving!
#7? Donghe Sunrise Canoeing
Weaving through the massive white limestone rocks known as the Emperor Stone, set against emerald-green waters and the historic Donghe Old Bridge, the beautiful scenery combines nature and history perfectly. For a bit of romance on the last day of 2019, let’s make unforgettable memories with a touch of madness. Head to the Mawuku River in Donghe, Taitung, hop in a canoe, and paddle through the gaps between giant rocks toward the river mouth to catch the final burst of sunshine before the 2020 New Year.
Of course, if you’re an energetic adventurer who loves catching the sunrise, you can also join the morning session. As the canoe slowly glides toward the estuary, the moment the sun emerges on the horizon becomes the highlight of the canoe sunrise tour. Paddling while watching the sunrise, plus a thoughtful breakfast, guarantees you an incredibly youthful and wonderful day!
