Reach for the Sky on Taiwan’s Glittering Jade Mountain!

Ever dreamed of standing atop Taiwan’s highest peak? Yushan, a.k.a. Jade Mountain, rises a majestic 3,952 meters (12,966 ft) above sea level, and in winter, its snow-capped peak shimmers like a precious gem!

But Yushan is more than just a pretty face. It boasts five unique peaks:

Main Peak: The most popular and the highest, offering breathtaking panoramic views.

Eastern Peak: A challenging climb and one of Taiwan’s Ten Major Summits.

Northern Peak: Home to Taiwan’s highest weather station (and some friendly meteorologists!).

Southern Peak: A sharp, dramatic pinnacle of black shale.

Western Peak: Covered in lush forests, offering a different perspective of Yushan’s beauty.

Ready for an adventure? We’ve designed an unforgettable Yushan trek with your safety in mind. Our expert guides, top-notch equipment, and meticulous planning will ensure you have a fun and rewarding experience on this iconic mountain.

Important Note: While Yushan is a dream destination, it’s important to be prepared. We recommend a medical check-up before your climb, especially if you have any concerns about your health. Your safety is our top priority!

I feel that the guide is very experienced, he made a good call for us to do the summit from dongpu at 1am before the Typhoon arrived.

*Good – Guide cooks lunch on day 1 and make coffee at summit. Very nice to have hot food and drinks along the way Can be improved – communication from the guide can be improved. Especially on timing. – Guide can be more watchful on the condition of the participants. – if the guide can also share more on the plants, animals and environment in the park.

* best moment : Trek is manageable with beautiful views along the way. Summit with beautiful sunrise. There are so many area for nice photos.

* moment you least enjoyed? The dormitory but this is mountain lodging so cannot complain.
