- Attractions-
- The main peak of Yushan The main peak of Yushan is located in the center of Taiwan, with an altitude of 3,952 meters. It is the first among the mountains in Taiwan, ranks first among the hundreds of mountains, and is also the highest peak in Northeast Asia. The main peak is surrounded by east, south, west and north peaks, and there are Qianfeng, Xiaonanshan, Nanyushan, East Xiaonanshan, Lushan and Beibei peaks on the periphery, echoing each other from a distance, just like stars over the moon, setting off the kingly dignity of the main peak. The majestic mountain appearance, excellent outlook and gorgeous sunrise landscape have attracted countless Chinese and foreign climbers to climb. In recent years, it has become one of the three things that Taiwanese people must complete in their lives. The earliest description of the name of the mountain in historical records was in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1667). Yu Yonghe wrote in the book "Fanjing Supplement": "Yushan Mountain is among thousands of mountains. It is the highest mountain and can be seen from far away. The rocks are steep and cut. It is as white as silver, and looks like Taibai snow from a distance. It is surrounded by peaks that are as far as the eye can see. It is said that this mountain is as pure as jade. Every time it is clear, looking at it from the county and city, it is like white clouds in the sky." During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the Yunlin Interview Book published said: "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 in Shangdongpu (95 kilometers of Provincial Highway 18) and then walk onto the Yushan Forest Road. Shortly after passing the National Park Police, It can be seen, and its location is just on the left side of the T-shaped intersection leading to the Yushan trailhead and Lulin Mountain, Linzhi Mountain, and Lulin Villa. The tree is about 800 years old; the height of the tree is 24 meters; the chest circumference of the tree is 6 meters; it begins to branch 10 meters above the ground, forming an umbrella-shaped tree shape. It is an important landmark for hikers and tourists entering and exiting Yushan. Most hikers choose to take photos here. The reason why the large hemlock has been preserved to this day is related to the tree species. Hemlock is not a high-quality wood. In addition, the saddle that grows at an altitude of 2,740 meters is protected from lightning strikes. 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 stopping for tourists to admire.
- Paiyun Villa Paiyun Villa is deep in the mountainous area of Yushan National Park, surrounded by the peaks of Yushan. The only access from east to west is the Yushan Hiking Trail, which leads to the main peak of Yushan and the Tatajia Trail. There is also another mountain trail extending upward. , this one leads to the west peak of Yushan Mountain. Because Paiyun Villa faces south, leaning on the ridge between the main peak of Yushan Mountain and the west peak of Yushan Mountain, facing south is a valley with a broad view. This valley is the upper reaches of Nanzixian Creek, and the vegetation on both sides is It is covered with fir and spruce, and there are Yushan arrow bamboo and other plants growing in the forest.

2. On the second day, Paiyun Villa (Mountain House) is located in a high mountain and the water resources on the mountain are precious, so we will not be able to provide toilets.
- Registration Instructions -

Because Yushan is located at a high altitude, for the safety of group members, after registration is completed, customer service staff will ask group members to fill in a health declaration questionnaire to gain a preliminary understanding of physical fitness and mountaineering experience, so as to provide relevant training suggestions before departure.
Signing up does not guarantee that you will be able to climb Yushan Mountain. 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 Jade Management Office system.
Since the number of beds in Paiyun Villa needs to be drawn by lottery, the group must count the number of people no later than 35 days before departure. If the minimum number of people in the group is reached - 7 people, a lottery will be arranged; if the minimum number of people in the group is not reached, refunds will be processed.
If the lottery is confirmed, cancellation or substitution will not be possible; the lottery results will be known 30 days before departure (it will be postponed if there is a holiday). If you do not win the lottery, a refund will be processed, and the refund will be deducted from the lottery handling fee of 300 yuan per person. .
If you are confirmed to have won the lottery, you will not be able to cancel, substitute, or change the date; if you are unable to participate due to personal reasons, no refunds will be processed.
If you register separately with your friends but hope to be assigned to the same group, please be sure to fill in the remarks when registering and indicate the full names of your traveling companions. If you do not indicate this in advance, you may be assigned to different groups in the future and you may not be able to win the lottery at the same time.

- Suggestions on mobile food and self-care lunch -
Choose your favorite snacks, cookies or bread according to your personal preferences. Mainly for convenient storage, combined with fruits, it is enough to provide the calories consumed when walking in the mountainous areas. The daily weight of traveling food is about 100-200g. You can choose high-calorie foods such as tofu bars, cheese biscuits, nuts, dried fruits or chocolate chip cookies. In addition to sweet snacks, you can add a few salty foods to balance the taste. Fresh fruits should be unpeeled and seed-free. 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 mostly 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, and on the other hand, it is more economical to package fewer goods, and it also reduces the weight caused by excessive packaging.

FAQ

1. What makes Yushan Main Peak a significant hiking destination in Taiwan?

Yushan Main Peak, also known as Jade Mountain, holds the title of the highest mountain in Northeast Asia. Its significance lies in its majestic elevation, diverse ecosystems, and the stunning panoramic views it offers, including the famous 'sea of clouds'. It's considered one of Taiwan's Baiyue (100 peaks) and is a symbol of natural beauty and a challenging yet rewarding hiking experience for mountaineers worldwide.

2. What is the climbing difficulty level for Yushan Main Peak, and what should hikers expect?

The Yushan Main Peak climb is generally classified as a moderate to challenging hike, suitable for individuals with a good level of physical fitness and some hiking experience. While the trails are well-maintained, the altitude (reaching 3,952 meters) presents challenges such as thinner air and potential altitude sickness. Hikers should expect steep ascents, rocky paths, and unpredictable weather conditions, requiring proper gear and preparation.

3. How does the Yushan Main Peak climb compare to other challenging hikes in Taiwan regarding difficulty?

Compared to other challenging hikes in Taiwan, the Yushan Main Peak climb is considered one of the most accessible of the 'Baiyue' (100 peaks) but still demands respect due to its high altitude. While trails like Mount Xue (Snow Mountain) or Nanhu Mountain might involve longer distances or more technical sections, Yushan's primary challenge is the elevation gain and acclimatization. Its popularity also means more established facilities and clearer paths.

4. What level of physical preparation and training is advisable for a successful ascent of Yushan Main Peak?

For a successful Yushan Main Peak ascent, it's highly advisable to engage in cardiovascular training like running, swimming, or cycling for at least 2-3 months prior. Incorporate strength training focusing on legs and core, and practice hiking with a weighted backpack to simulate trail conditions. Regular walks at varying inclines can also help build stamina. Adequate rest and proper nutrition are crucial for optimal physical readiness.

5. What unique features and scenic views can hikers anticipate on the Yushan Main Peak trail, particularly around Paiyun Villa?

On the Yushan Main Peak trail, hikers can anticipate breathtaking high-mountain scenery, including ancient forests, alpine meadows, and dramatic rock formations. Unique features include panoramic 360-degree views from the summit, often a stunning 'sea of clouds' phenomenon, and beautiful sunrises. Around Paiyun Villa, a key overnight stop, visitors can enjoy spectacular sunsets and clear starry nights, offering a close-up perspective of the main peak's grandeur before the final early morning ascent.

6. Besides Yushan Main Peak, what other notable hiking trails are available in Yushan National Park?

Popular options include the East Peak (東峰), North Peak (北峰), and West Peak (西峰), often combined with the Main Peak for experienced hikers. The Batongguan Historic Trail (八通關古道) provides a historical perspective with stunning landscapes, while shorter, easier trails like the Tataka Recreation Area trails (塔塔加遊憩區步道) offer beautiful introductory walks for visitors of all levels.

7. What are the typical transportation options for reaching Yushan Main Peak's trailhead from major cities like Taipei?

Reaching Yushan Main Peak's trailhead (Tataka Recreation Area) from major cities like Taipei typically involves a multi-stage journey. Travelers often take high-speed rail (HSR) or a train to Chiayi. From Chiayi HSR or train station, private chartered vehicles, pre-booked shuttles, or tour operator transfers are the most common ways to reach Tataka. Some tour packages offer direct pick-up services from various cities including Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, or Taichung, providing convenient, hassle-free transportation directly to the park entrance or nearby accommodation.

8. What logistical support and safety measures are typically included for a Yushan Main Peak guided climb?

A guided Yushan Main Peak climb commonly includes extensive logistical support and stringent safety measures. This often features professional mountain guides maintaining a safe hiker-to-guide ratio, ensuring personalized attention. Essential provisions like travel liability insurance and dedicated mountaineering insurance offer comprehensive coverage. Transportation from major cities to the trailhead is usually arranged, along with an extra night's stay to aid acclimatization and reduce altitude sickness risks. Furthermore, managing permits and supplying official rations lighten hikers' loads, allowing for a more focused and secure climbing experience.
