About Alishan

Alishan is a mountain area in Chiayi County, Taiwan, known for its old forest railway, sunrise over the Yushan range and seas of cloud filling the valleys below. Fog often rolls up the slopes by afternoon, so a clear morning can disappear within hours. These Alishan live cams come from the Alishan National Scenic Area and Taiwan's forestry agency.

Which Alishan webcam to check first

Start with the Ogasawara platform before dawn for sunrise, then check Eryanping for the sea of cloud. Fenqihu shows the old railway village, the forest railway camera watches the line through the trees, and Taiping, Sheng-Li Farm, Niupuzi and Chukou cover the lower slopes.

Before you go to Alishan

Check the Central Weather Administration forecast and the forest railway timetable before you go. Mountain roads can close after heavy rain or typhoons.
