These are sea-level times for central Taitung: the moment the top of the sun meets a flat horizon. From a hilltop you see it a few minutes later; anywhere with a ridge to the west it goes earlier, sometimes by half an hour or more. Each spot page below gives that spot’s own sunset, worked out from its real skyline. Taitung sits under the Central Range, so the sun drops behind the mountains well before this time and the light goes earlier too; you will not see it reach the sea here, but the ridgelines and the afterglow can be spectacular.
The time is the easy part
Whether tonight’s sky is worth the trip depends on cloud, humidity and haze. The app scores every spot around Taitung and across Taiwan from the forecast at its own sunset hour.
