Taiwan is a small island rich in natural landscapes, yet this tiny land holds many stunning hidden gems that even foreign media find astonishing. Recently, people have favored taking photos at popular spots like restaurants, cafés, bookstores, or museums, but this time Scenic Spots will introduce some more alternative and thrilling destinations. We've specially selected six cliffside attractions voted online, inviting you to admire Taiwan’s beautiful scenery from a bird’s-eye view.

1. Dragon-Phoenix Waterfall Skywalk
The Dragon-Phoenix Waterfall Skywalk in Zhongliao Township, Nantou, is the longest skywalk in Taiwan. Its U-shaped structure extends 13 meters outward without any suspension, offering a commanding or even vertigo-inducing experience.

2. Little Wulai Skywalk
The Little Wulai Skywalk in Fuxing District, Taoyuan, has been a local favorite since its opening. The platform extends 11 meters out from the cliff. In addition to the gorgeous mountain views, the beautiful waterfall can be fully appreciated through the glass walkway beneath your feet.

3. Yilan Eagle Rock Peak
Hidden within a steep mountain cliff in Toucheng Township lies a recently popular attraction. A sharp rock juts out precariously from the side, resembling an eagle’s beak when viewed from the side—hence the name Eagle Rock Peak. This spot is a favorite among photography enthusiasts. With its vast vistas and spectacular scenery, you can directly overlook the Yilan coastline and the distant Guishan Island, making for a truly uplifting experience.

4. North Coast Elephant Trunk Rock
Also located on the North Coast, Shen’ao Cape, nicknamed “Little Yehliu,” features a sea erosion cave formed over time by the constant lashing of seawater. The resulting formation resembles an elephant lowering its trunk, hence the name Elephant Trunk Rock. This naturally-formed wonder is a must-visit spot for many Instagram photographers.

5. Nantou Pinglai Glass Bridge of Glazed Light
The Pinglai Glass Bridge of Glazed Light in Xinyi Township, Nantou, features a glass-paneled walkway approximately 88 meters long and about 50 meters above the valley floor. Just by looking down, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the valley—a hotspot that has gained much attention recently.
