Chiayi Attractions

祝山

Due to its prominent terrain and wide views, the moment the sun rises, beams of light scatter everywhere, creating a magnificent spectacle with the sea of clouds formed in the valley. Many tourists travel thousands of miles just to catch a glimpse of this breathtaking scene as the light suddenly appears. As early as the Japanese occupation period, Zhu Mountain was an important spot for watching the sunrise, but at that time, access was only via trails to Zhu Mountain or Daga Mountain. In 1971, the Forestry Bureau opened the Zhu Mountain Forest Road, replacing the original narrow paths; however, due to conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, along with air pollution, a railway was constructed in May 1984, regulating vehicle access. Since the Zhu Mountain Line train operates only in the early morning and hurriedly descends after sunrise, it is the highest train station in Taiwan and also the earliest station for commuters in the country!

Many tourists travel from afar just to witness this breathtaking scene. As early as the Japanese colonial period, Zhu Mountain was an important spot for watching the sunrise, but at that time, access was only possible via hiking trails to Zhu Mountain or to Dagaoyue.
