格頭雲瀑山巒美景

This area is surrounded by mountains, and when the sun shines, the moisture accumulated in the forests evaporates into clouds and fog, resembling white waves churning among the green hills, creating a sea of clouds. There are many places to enjoy the sea of clouds here, with the area around Xiaogetou on the North Yilan Highway being the most famous. From Xiaogetou, looking north towards Yuguailing and other mountains, the peaks rise above the cloud layer. Whenever the weather changes slightly, the entire mountain range sinks into the sea of clouds, which is quite spectacular. Compared to other spots in Taiwan for viewing the sea of clouds, its lower altitude and higher frequency of occurrence are its unique features.
