- Attractions -
- Yushan Main Peak Yushan Main Peak is located in the center of Taiwan, with an altitude of 3,952 meters. It is the highest peak in Taiwan and ranked first among the 100 Great Mountains. It is also the highest peak in Northeast Asia. The main peak is surrounded by the East, South, West and North peaks. Outside, there are also the Front Peak, Xiaonan Mountain, Nanyu Mountain, East Xiaonan Mountain, Lu Mountain and Beibei Peak, which echo each other in the distance, just like the moon surrounded by stars, highlighting the kingly dignity of the main peak. The magnificent mountain appearance, excellent view and gorgeous sunrise view have attracted countless climbers from China and abroad to climb. In recent years, it has become one of the three things that Taiwanese people must complete in their lifetime. The name of the mountain was first described in historical records during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1667). In the book "Fanjing Buyi" written by Yu Yonghe, it said: "Yushan is among thousands of mountains. It is the highest mountain and can be seen from all distances. The steep cliffs are white like silver. From a distance, it looks like snow on Taibai Mountain. It is surrounded by peaks on all sides, which are out of reach. Everyone says that this mountain is as pure as jade. On every sunny day, when you look at it from the county town, it looks like white clouds in the sky." During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, a book on Yunlin published stated: "Batongguan Mountain is also known as Yushan."
- The Big Hemlock Sacred Tree The Big Hemlock Sacred Tree is located in the Tatajia Recreation Area. Visitors can park their cars at Shangdongpu (95km on Provincial Highway 18) and then walk into the Yushan Forest Road. They can see it shortly after passing the National Park Police Station. It is located just on the left side of the T-shaped fork leading to the Yushan trailhead and Lulin Mountain, Linzhi Mountain, and Lulin Villa. The tree is about 800 years old, 24 meters tall, and 6 meters in circumference. It starts to branch out 10 meters above the ground, forming an umbrella-shaped tree. It is an important landmark for climbers and tourists entering and leaving Yushan. Both tourists and climbers will choose to take photos here. The reason why the big hemlock has been preserved to this day is related to the tree species. Hemlock is not a top-quality wood. In addition, it grows in a saddle at an altitude of 2,740 meters and is not struck by lightning. Therefore, the tree shape is healthy and complete, and it is valued and protected by Yushan National Park. Therefore, it still stands tall in the Tatajia Recreation Area, and is worth tourists' stop to watch.
- Paiyun Villa Paiyun Villa is located deep in the mountainous area of ​​Yushan National Park, surrounded by Yushan peaks. The only way to get from east to west is the Yushan hiking trail, which leads to the main peak of Yushan and the Tatajia trail entrance. There is another mountain trail extending upward, which leads to the west peak of Yushan. As Paiyun Villa faces south and is located in the north, it leans against the ridge between the main peak of Jade Mountain and the western peak of Jade Mountain. To the south, it presents a vast valley. This valley is the upper reaches of Nanzixian Creek. The vegetation on both sides is covered with fir and cloud fir, and Jade Mountain arrow bamboo and other plants grow interspersed in the forest.
- Accommodation Information -
The first day will be arranged in Paiyun Villa (mountain house), which only has bunk beds.
1. Paiyun Villa (mountain house) is located in the mountains, where water resources are precious. We are sorry that we cannot provide toilet facilities.
- Registration Instructions -

Because Yushan is located at a high altitude, for the safety of group members, after registration is completed, the customer service staff will ask group members to fill out a health declaration questionnaire to get a preliminary understanding of their physical fitness and mountaineering experience, so as to provide relevant training suggestions before departure.
Registration does not guarantee that you can climb Yushan. You must first confirm the physical condition and climbing experience of the group members, and then participate in the bed lottery at Paiyun Villa through the Yushan Management Office system.
As beds at Paiyun Villa need to be booked by lot, the group will count the number of people at least 35 days before departure. If the minimum number of people is reached - 7, a lottery will be arranged; if the minimum number of people is not reached, a refund will be processed.
If you confirm the lottery, you will not be able to cancel or change the person; the lottery result can be known 30 days before departure (if it falls on a holiday, it will be postponed). If you do not win the lottery, a refund will be processed, and a lottery handling fee of 300 yuan/person will be deducted from the refund.
If you are confirmed to have won the ticket, you will not be able to cancel, change the person or change the date; if you are unable to attend due to personal reasons, you will not be able to get a refund.
If you register separately from a friend but hope to be assigned to the same group, please be sure to fill in a note when registering and indicate the full name of your travel partner. If you do not indicate it in advance, you may be assigned to different groups later and will not be able to receive the lottery at the same time.

- Recommendations on mobile food and self-catered lunch -
Choose your favorite snacks, biscuits or bread according to your personal preferences. The main purpose is to facilitate storage, and when combined with fruits, it is enough to provide the calories consumed while hiking in the mountains. The daily weight of travel food is about 100-200g. You can choose high-calorie foods such as tofu bars, cheese crackers, nuts, dried fruits or chocolate cookies. In addition to sweet snacks, you can have a few more salty foods to better balance the taste. Fresh fruits should be unpeeled and seedless. Please do not discard the peels and seeds on the mountain.
When purchasing goods, it is recommended to buy products with less packaging. Many products on the market are over-packaged. It is recommended to reduce the purchase of such goods when planning. On the one hand, it can reduce the burden on the environment. On the other hand, products with less packaging are more economical and affordable, while also reducing the weight caused by excessive packaging.
