As winter gradually approaches, besides enjoying the autumn foliage and Christmas, it's also the season for cloud waterfalls and ethereal night views. Camping sites across Taiwan’s mountainous regions are entering their peak season. At the summit of Meishan in Wufeng Township, Hsinchu, not only do you get vast, open skies, boundless grasslands, endless sea of clouds, brilliant starry skies, sweeping night views, and thousands of fireflies around you, but you can also stay in yurts that bring the charm of the steppe – creating a truly atmospheric experience.

Yingtao’s Tiankuo Campsite sits at an elevation of exactly 1,200 meters, surrounded by mountains and facing the sea. To its right are Xiangtian Lake, Youluo, and Xiashan; behind it are Maibailai, Miantuoyou, and Yemahan Mountain; to its left are Leshan, Jiali, Niaozui, and Egongji Mountain; and straight ahead lies Wuzhi Mountain, beyond which stretches the boundless Taoyuan-Hsinchu-Miaoli coastline. The area offers different beautiful sceneries in every season, including lush greenery in spring, fireflies in summer, and snowscapes in winter.
