Taiwan is a small island with incredibly rich natural landscapes. This tiny piece of land harbors many breathtaking hidden gems that even surprise foreign media. Recently, people have favored taking photos at popular spots like restaurants, cafés, bookstores, or museums, but this time, Scenic Spots is recommending more offbeat and thrilling locations. We’ve specially selected six online-voted suspended scenic spots, where you can admire Taiwan’s beautiful scenery from a bird’s-eye view.
1. Dragon-Phoenix Waterfall Skywalk
Located in Zhongliao Township, Nantou, the Dragon-Phoenix Waterfall Skywalk is Taiwan’s longest skywalk. Its U-shaped structure extends 13 meters outward without any suspension, giving visitors a feeling of standing above it all or the complex sensation of being on the edge of a deep abyss.

3. Yilan Eagle Stone Peak
Hidden within the high mountain cliffs of Toucheng Township lies a recently very popular attraction. A sharp, protruding boulder juts out from the side, resembling an eagle’s beak when viewed from the side—hence the name Eagle Stone Peak. It has become a favorite photography spot for many enthusiasts. With its vast vistas and spectacular scenery, Eagle Stone Peak offers direct views of the Yilan coastline and the distant Guishan Island, making it a truly uplifting experience.

4. North Coast Elephant Trunk Rock
Also located on the North Coast, Shen’ao Cape, known as “Little Yehliu,” features a naturally formed sea erosion cave at the cliff’s edge due to long-term seawater erosion. The resulting landscape resembles an elephant hanging its trunk, hence the name Elephant Trunk Rock. This naturally-formed wonder is a must-visit spot for many Instagram photography enthusiasts.
