Er Liao Sunrise Viewing Platform Live Streaming Image In the photography community, there are three major sacred sites for sunrise: Beige Tou, Zhong Wu Cheng, and Nan Er Liao. They all share the common feature of having magnificent low-altitude sea of clouds. Er Liao is especially notable as the lowest altitude sunrise viewing spot in Taiwan, often hailed as "the dawn closest to the city." On clear days, arriving before dawn to gaze eastward from the high ground, the Central Mountain Range emerges in the morning light. The sunlight leaps out from behind the mountains, casting beams diagonally, illuminating the chalk hills with vibrant colors. The Moon World reveals its true form amidst the ever-changing mist and colors, while bamboo shadows sway in the morning light, creating an ink wash landscape painting that unfolds before your eyes. Recently built, the new viewing platform stands out from other smaller platforms, providing a spacious area that can accommodate nearly 2,000 people. Surrounding facilities, including parking lots and restrooms, have been established for the convenience of visiting tourists.
