A cold snap has swept across Taiwan, bringing chilly weather everywhere. At the 2,000-meter-high Taiping Mountain National Forest Recreation Area, the winter chill is particularly strong. On the evening of the 16th, park staff observed frost beginning to form on some treetops, and by the morning of the 17th, the area had transformed into a dreamy silver-white world.

On the morning of the 17th, temperatures at the Taiping Mountain National Forest Recreation Area remained as low as -2°C, with the mountain forest covered in white frost, exuding a northern vibe. The Luye Forest District Office of the Forestry Bureau also reminded the public that mountain temperatures are very low, so proper cold protection is essential. Roads may be slippery, so visitors are advised to install snow chains on their vehicles, wear lightweight shoes, and carry rain gear and warm clothing. Due to frequent fog and mist in the mountains, drivers should exercise caution and stay safe.
