Beautiful sea of clouds and sunset on Alishan

Eryanping Trail is a relatively hidden trail that is located off the main mountain road. While this trail is less known as compared to the trails in the Alishan Recreation area where most visitors will go, there are still many who visit this off beaten track that offers amazing views of the sea of clouds and sunsets. There are various viewing platforms with great views of the sea of clouds and sunset. Do note that the sea of clouds are typically seen when the weather is cool such as in winter, and there has to be good weather for the sunset to happen. Tea plantations can be found along the way too. As Alishan is not the most accessible via public transport, this place is best visited via private transport. You may opt to stay in a homestay near the trail to make getting to the trail easier. Be careful when you are on the trails, as even though the trails are paved to make it easier for visitors, it can get dark after sunset.
