Zhushan Sunrise Viewing Platform
Zhushan Sunrise Viewing Platform is renowned for its breathtaking sunrise views, but during cherry blossom season, it is also an excellent spot for cherry blossom viewing. Visitors usually take the Alishan Forest Railway to Zhushan Station and then walk to the viewing platform. Along the way, they can see cherry blossoms adorning the mountains, creating a dreamy landscape. In the early morning, as the sun slowly rises, the sky gradually changes from purple-blue to golden yellow, and the pink cherry blossoms blend with the distant mountain scenery, presenting a stunning picture. Even if you are not there for the sunrise, the cherry blossoms along the Zhushan Trail are worth a visit, especially from mid-March to early April when the Yoshino cherry trees are in full bloom, making the entire trail look like it is draped in a pink veil. Visitors are advised to bring a camera, as both the cherry blossoms in the morning light and the petals falling under the sunlight are worth capturing. Zhushan Sunrise Viewing Platform is not just a holy place for sunrises but also a dreamy spot for romantic cherry blossom viewing.
