[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The thin mountain air at 2,000 meters above sea level does not disperse the sun's ray as at lower altitudes. High concentrations of ultraviolet light make the colors of the sunset even more vivid. The clouds and mists of Alishan can take on many forms. During sunrise and sunset, they often cast a thin mist across the mountains.

Legend has it that over 250 years ago, a chief of the Tsou Tribe called Abali brought his people here after discovering these rich hunting grounds. The region was named Alishan after him. Alishan, in fact, encompasses 18 mountains and is a branch of the Yushan Mountain Range. The five wonders of Alishan are sunrise, sea of clouds, sunset, forests, and alpine railway--in addition, there is also the culture of the Tsou aborigines, which makes a tour of Alishan even more interesting.
