Hehuan Mountain is astonishing.

Hehuan Mountain is located in central Taiwan, spanning Nantou and Hualien. It is a popular destination for hiking and sightseeing. No matter the season, Hehuan Mountain showcases different sceneries, attracting visitors from all around. Early Autumn at Hehuan Mountain Walking into Hehuan Mountain in early autumn, the air is filled with a refreshing coolness, and the surrounding trees begin to take on the colors of autumn, with yellow and red intertwining into a natural canvas. In the early morning, a gentle breeze sweeps over the mountains, and sunlight filters through the thin mist, allowing one to feel the grandeur of nature. Hehuan Mountain is known for its high altitude, with main peaks including Hehuan Main Peak, North Peak, and East Peak, each with its unique characteristics, attracting hikers with different needs. The Joy of Reaching the Summit We chose Hehuan Main Peak, a typical beginner route suitable for travelers of different experience levels. The entire path is well-maintained, ideal for hiking enthusiasts. The scenery along the way is ever-changing, with clouds sometimes covering the sky and at other times revealing blue skies and white clouds. Every step taken feels like a cleansing of the soul. As we stepped onto the final steep slope, the view suddenly opened up, and the highest point of Hehuan Mountain was right before our eyes. The surrounding mountains stretched endlessly, with Qilai Mountain and the Taroko Mountain Range faintly visible in the distance through the mist, resembling a giant ink painting. At this moment, all the fatigue seemed to dissipate, and our hearts were filled with awe for nature. Overnight in the Mountains Spending a night on the mountain allows one to experience a different kind of charm of Hehuan Mountain at night. As night falls, the sky is filled with stars, far from the light pollution of the city, allowing one to witness the spectacular starry sky. After a night of dew, watching the magnificent sunrise the next morning becomes an essential activity. When the first rays of dawn paint the mountain tops red, and the golden light slowly spreads like a waterfall over the land, this dreamlike moment is mesmerizing. Biodiversity of Hehuan Mountain Hehuan Mountain not only boasts magnificent natural landscapes but also rich flora and fauna. It is home to several endemic bird and insect species, attracting many biologists for research. The plants along the trails, such as Taiwan cypress and Taiwan fir, display various forms with the changing seasons, making it a paradise for explorers and photographers. Food and Accommodation There are small restaurants at the foot of the mountain offering authentic Taiwanese cuisine, such as high mountain vegetable hot pot, which not only fills the stomach but also wards off the mountain's chill. There are various accommodation options, from simple mountain huts to well-equipped homestays, adding a touch of comfort to the journey. Hehuan Mountain is not just about thrills and challenges; it is also a journey of the soul. The natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere here allow people to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and find inner peace. This trip to Hehuan Mountain not only enriched our visual and sensory experiences but also made us reflect on the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature. This travelogue is just a part of Hehuan Mountain's beauty. Each visit offers a different experience, and we sincerely invite all nature lovers to come and personally feel the unique charm of Hehuan Mountain.
