Taoyuan Valley boasts an incredibly vast, boundless grassland. When you climb to the mountaintop, besides the endless sea, there’s also a giant “Haba dog” keeping you company while you watch the sunrise. You can freely run and jump here, and even take photos with the cows too!Experts have categorized it as the most ideal sunrise gem for running.

Want to watch the sunrise on New Year’s without the crowds? Then head to Xuhai!Xuhai is known as Taiwan’s “Land’s End,” where there’s a deserted beach free from disturbances. You can quietly sit on the sand listening to the sound of the waves, letting your mind wander and unwind. When you open your eyes, you’ll see the first rays of sunlight on the horizon shining right on your face – some even joke that even Doctor Strange would fall in love with this meditative spot.
After surveying the sunrise scenes across northern Taiwan, we found that only Sheipa Ranch deserves a spot on the list, because the Sacred Ridge Line here is simply too stunning!
The Sacred Ridge Line is a mountain chain connecting Snow Mountain to Mt. Dabajian, stretching 15 kilometers with altitudes all above 3,000 meters. When golden sunlight illuminates the entire ridgeline, it’s more beautiful than any painting – it’s no exaggeration to say it’s the most majestic sunrise gem!

If you want to experience the thrill of adventure, then the recently super-popular Pink Bird Forest is also a great choice!To catch the fiery first ray of sunlight rising next to the sea pyramid, you first have to pass the challenge of the wave-dissipating blocks. Once the sun rises higher, the complete breathtaking view of Pink Bird Forest will deeply enchant you – let’s crown Pink Bird Forest as the most adventurous sunrise gem!

Speaking of the most thrilling sunrise gem, after some thought, it must be Qixingtan. At Qixingtan, besides the stunning sunrise scenery, the most impressive thing is the roar of F-16 fighter jets flying overhead. Beyond the visual experience, it’s probably the only sunrise gem in Taiwan with an ultra-intense auditory experience.

The last sunrise gem is waiting in a valley for the sun to rise over the mountaintop and cast down its first ray of light. Jiaruo Lake is covered in mist in the early morning. Waiting for the first light of dawn to pierce through the surrounding fog and shine over the lake is like a dream!
When the mist clears, the crystal-clear lake reflects the emerald green mountains and every blade of grass around it, just like a mirror. Saying this is the most dreamy sunrise gem in all of Taiwan? We couldn’t agree more!
