- Attraction Description -

• Kunyang
  On the way to Hehuanshan, after passing Cuifeng and Yuanfeng, you will arrive at Kunyang, formerly known as South Hehuanshan. Kunyang is at an altitude of 3,085 meters. In the past, it had a police station, parking lot, and restrooms, but these are now abandoned. A boundary marker for Taroko National Park is located at Kunyang, where you can overlook Qilai Mountain, as well as the main and east peaks of Hehuanshan. With no light pollution, Kunyang is also the best place for stargazing at night.

• Wuling
  At an altitude of 3,275 meters, located at the saddle between the main peak and the east peak of Hehuanshan, it is the highest point on Taiwan's highway system. There is an observation deck on the east side where you can overlook the rolling mountains and layers of clouds. The environment with no light pollution makes it the best place for stargazing at night. In winter, snow falls, creating a silver world that attracts many visitors.

• Songxue Lodge
  Songxue Lodge on Hehuanshan, at an altitude of 3,150 meters, is the highest former Chiang Kai-shek residence in Taiwan. After being closed for 13 years, it was renovated by the Dongshi Forest District Office of the Forestry Bureau and reopened with a European-style appearance. Built in 1966 as a residence for the late President Chiang Kai-shek during his inspection tours, it was the highest presidential residence in Taiwan. Since 1969, Songxue Lodge has been open to the public for accommodation, becoming an important stop for tourists and hikers visiting Hehuanshan.

• Bilyu Sacred Tree
  The 'Bilyu Sacred Tree' is a living sacred tree, approximately 3,300 years old, about 40 meters tall, with a diameter of 3.5 meters and a root width of about 11 meters. It belongs to the fragrant cedar family. During spring and summer, its dense foliage looks vibrant, and its branches extend in all directions, highlighting its vigor.
