Dramatic cliffs of Huoyanshan (火炎山)
Huoyanshan, also known as Fire Mountain or the Flaming Mountain, is a striking natural landmark in Miaoli County, Taiwan. Renowned for its unique red soil and dramatic cliffs, the mountain’s fragile geology, composed of loose sandstone and shale, makes it highly susceptible to erosion and landslides.
During sunsets, the mountain often glows with a fiery brilliance, showcasing its full beauty and inspiring its evocative name. This distinctive feature, combined with its ecological and geological significance, makes Huoyanshan a captivating destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
