This camera is located above the Alishan Work Station of the Taiwan Forestry Bureau Alishan. The picture shows a panoramic view of the lovely Alishan scenery.

The beauty of Alishan Forest Recreation Area has been known throughout Taiwan for a long time. Among the lovely natural sights that lure visitors to Alishan are Jiemei (Sisters) Lake, Shoujhen Temple, the Alishan Sacred Tree, Cihyun Temple, and the three-generation forest.

Alishan's famous "five magnificent sights" are the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the sunset, the forest, and the mountain railway. The Alishan sunrise changes with the season, and the time and place also change. The sea of clouds - once listed among the "Eight Scenic Wonders of Taiwan" - usually occurs at sunrise or dusk, especially when the weather is clear with some floating clouds. Fall is the best time to see the sea of clouds. The mountain railway is one of best ways to visit the Alishan Forest Recreation Area. The forests and mountain vistas are spectacular as the train chugs its way up to lofty Alishan.
