Alishan Sunrise and Sea of Clouds

Just wrapped up an epic 2D1N getaway in Alishan and honestly… this trip is next level! If you want unreal views and cozy vibes, here’s the tea:

Getting There 🚗
We chartered a car straight from Taipei to Alishan and back, making the whole journey super chill and hassle-free. No waiting around for public transport—just hop in and go!

Must-see Magic ✨
The absolute highlight is catching the sunrise at Zhushan (祝山). Waking up early is totally worth it when you’re standing above those sea of clouds—view is legit 🤯! Zhushan Sunrise Platform is open daily and the best time to arrive is before 5am if you want that perfect IG snap. (Zhushan Trailhead: Alishan Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan)

Where to Stay 🏨
We checked in at Dafeng Hotel, right in Alishan. It’s super close to all the main trails and sunrise spots, so you don’t have to rush in the morning. Address: No.45, Zhongzheng Village, Alishan Township, Chiayi County. Rooms are basic but clean, with all the cozy essentials for a solid night’s sleep after a long day of exploring!

Foodie Stop 🍲
For dinner, you gotta hit up Shan Bin Restaurant. Hotpot on a cool mountain night = sooo satisfying! The broths are tasty and perfect for warming up after chasing the clouds. Shan Bin’s address: No.119, Zhongzheng Village, Alishan Township, Chiayi County. Pro tip: Swing by early, because it fills up fast when the weather turns chilly.

Can’t-miss for your Alishan bucket list:
- Sunrise at Zhushan Platform
- Chilling at Dafeng Hotel
- Mountain hotpot feast @ Shan Bin Restaurant

Honestly, Alishan should be at the top of your Taiwan adventure list. Sunrise, clouds, insane views, and all the cozy eats—this trip is all the feels! Book your hotel and car through trip.com for the easiest travel hack.
