Autumn is the best time to visit the Daxue Mountain Forest Recreation Area. Aside from enjoying the sea of clouds drifting across the endless green mountains—undulating and ever-changing—the magnificent sunrise emerging between the peaks is definitely worth waking up early to witness. Additionally, starting mid-November, the area’s changing foliage such as green maple, red maple, sharp-leaf maple, and mountain sumac will gradually don vibrant hues, creating a striking contrast against the evergreen trees for a picturesque “splash of red in a sea of green” scene—truly poetic and enchanting.

The Daxue Mountain Forest Recreation Area is located in a frequent fog belt, and its picturesque sea of clouds resembling ink wash paintings is a major highlight. At the 48K Pass Viewpoint, you can take in a variety of stunning sights all at once: the undulating mountain ranges, the spectacular sunrise, the vast and magnificent sea of clouds, and the gorgeous sunset glow. However, the trails extend through high-altitude mountainous areas, winding with many steep slopes, so avoid walking too hastily.

Meanwhile, at the 43K Daxue Mountain Visitor Center, you can easily enjoy the ever-changing sea of clouds and the colorful, magnificent sunset without breaking a sweat—perfect for families to come together and soak in this dreamy, romantic scenery.
