The park's highest peak, Xueshan (Snow Mountain), reaches 3,886 meters. Visitors should be aware of potential altitude changes and prepare accordingly for varying oxygen levels during their trip.
The magnificent sea of clouds in Shei-Pa National Park is most frequently observed during autumn and winter (October to March), often after rainfall, due to specific weather conditions. Spring (March to May) brings hundreds of vibrant flowers and lush greenery, while summer (June to September) offers a cool breeze, making it ideal for escaping urban heat. Winter also provides opportunities to see snow, with each season presenting unique natural beauty.
Shei-Pa farm stays, particularly those situated near areas like Guanwu Villa, provide a tranquil mountain retreat experience. Visitors can expect comfortable, often rustic accommodations with picturesque views of the surrounding forests and valleys. The environment is characterized by fresh air, profound natural tranquility, and excellent opportunities for stargazing at night due to minimal light pollution. Some farm stays may also offer insights into local culture or provide guided nature experiences.
Hsinchu Wild Horse Mountain Forest offers a variety of activities centered around nature exploration.
