Lake Jiaming, located in Taitung, Taiwan, is the second-highest alpine lake in the country. This pristine body of water remains full throughout the year, its surface a deep, gem-like blue that captivates the soul. Revered by the mountaineering community as “The Sapphire Lost by God” and “Angel’s Tears,” it has quietly become one of Taiwan’s most enchanting secrets in recent years. Remote and untouched, this mystical lake awaits those who seek the beauty of nature’s most serene wonders.
