[2025 Nantou Attraction] Travel Guide for Yushan National Park (Updated Apr)

For those who regularly exercise, as long as you secure a spot at Paiyun Lodge, you can climb Yushan quite easily (provided you don't suffer from altitude sickness)! On the first day, start from the trailhead in the morning and walk slowly. You should reach Paiyun Lodge by around 4 PM. If you're lucky, you can rest a bit and catch the sunset. After a quick dinner, you can take a short nap! On the second day, put on your headlamp and carefully follow the group in the dark. The final stretch is a steep scree slope that requires both hands and feet. Then, you'll wait for the sunrise at the summit. Standing at the highest point in Taiwan and watching the beautiful sea of clouds is truly unforgettable!

Yushan, we finally got the five-star Paiyun Villa, but we encountered rain all day on the day we went up the mountain. The rain was not heavy, but it continued all the way until we reached Paiyun Villa. It didn’t stop. The process of climbing the mountain and reaching the summit the next day was not easy. I can still feel the rain along the way. I was shivering with cold at the mountain resort. I just wanted to hide in my sleeping bag. The biting cold wind started to blow in the middle of the night. Before reaching the summit, I used all my strength and climbed up with adrenaline soaring. The grand view of Yushan is a beauty that cannot be captured by mobile phones. This is a very profound experience. Although I didn’t see the beautiful sunrise and sea of ​​clouds, the mountain is always there. I will climb it again next time when the weather is good🌤️🗻 #Yushan #Mountain Climbing #100Mountains

My birthday is pretty much the same every year, but this time I told myself that I must do something different, so I decided to reach the highest altitude in Taiwan to watch the sunrise on my birthday! That is Yushan! ! This trip is planned to be three days and two nights. On the first day, we will drive to Chiayi, check in at a hotel in the city, eat something and visit the night market, and then go to bed early. We will wake up early the next morning and go to the entrance of Yushan Mountain, then slowly climb to Paiyun Villa. We will sleep at night and get up at 3 am the next morning to have breakfast, and then get ready to set off to the summit! It's all worth it⋯#玉山

It has been famous for a long time, and almost all tourists who come to Yushan must visit this place; there are guided tours provided, through which tourists can understand the climbing process, and there are also souvenirs for sale #赏花攻略 suitable for both gifts and personal use. #

Taiwan's highest peak - Yushan The 100th highest peak in Taiwan, with an altitude of 3,952 meters. It is also the highest peak in East Asia. I am a novice and have no mountaineering experience. Directly jump to the first peak to fight monsters. It takes about 5 hours from the trailhead to Paiyun Villa. Rest in the mountain house until 3:00 a.m. and then continue to seal the summit. It will take about another two hours to cap it. The route to climb Yushan is not difficult, and there is no steep terrain. Maintaining your physical strength is very important. The second thing to note is that if you have signs of altitude sickness, do not force yourself to climb! #travelinspiration #specialaccommodation #travelstrategy #cooltravelexperiences #hiking #goodcampingplaces #wheretogoinsummer

The experience of climbing Yushan Mountain for the first time can be said to be a challenge to both the mind and the body. I remember that day, I embarked on the journey to Yushan with full of expectations and a little nervousness. Along the way, as the altitude continued to rise, the surrounding scenery became more magnificent, the mountain air became fresher, and the only sounds in our ears were the rustling of leaves and the singing of birds. Walking on the winding mountain path, although the road is a bit rugged, every step is looking forward to the surprise that the next corner will bring me. We arrived at Paiyun Villa around noon. As night fell, the starry sky appeared. The bright stars made people forget the fatigue of the journey. I could hardly sleep the whole night, looking forward to the arrival of morning, and expecting to climb up at 2:30 in the morning to witness the moment of dawn on the highest peak in East Asia. Before daybreak, I got up and prepared to set off on my journey to the summit. Although the wind was biting cold along the way, every step was full of strength. When I climbed to the top and waited for the dawn, the excitement in my heart was beyond words. Finally, the dawn began to rise. First, the faint light gradually dyed the sky red, and then the morning sun suddenly bloomed, illuminating the entire valley with golden light. At that moment, all the fatigue and hard work disappeared, and only shock and joy filled my heart. Looking at the beautiful sunrise, I feel the power of life and understand the meaning of hard work. Looking forward to my next visit to Yushan

The gravel slope with a drop of 900 meters is so tough!

*Prepare and Go* In the journey of pursuing the 100 peaks of Taiwan, climbing Mount Yushan is the dream and challenge of countless climbers. After careful planning and preparation, we finally embarked on this extremely challenging journey. *Mountain climbing trip* Our journey started from the base camp of Yushan National Park in Nantou County. At first, the hiking trail passes through a lush forest path, and then gradually becomes rugged and undulating as the altitude increases. Every time you turn a corner, you can see the mountain scenery from different angles, which is refreshing. The night sky is also stunning, filled with stars that cannot be seen in the city. *Challenges and Struggles* As the altitude continued to rise, the air became thinner and walking became more difficult. But we encouraged each other and persevered. The process of mountain climbing is not only a challenge to physical strength, but also a spiritual practice. When we finally reached the main peak, the beautiful scenery in front of us made all the hard work disappear in an instant. *The feeling of climbing the main peak* Standing at the highest point in Taiwan and overlooking the surrounding mountains and rivers, my heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment and emotion. The sea of ​​clouds, the sunrise, the mountains and rivers, all of these make people feel the wonder and greatness of nature. We took a group photo at the summit and hugged each other. This moment will be forever engraved in our hearts. *Return and Reflection* On the way back, we crossed the beautiful forest again, and every step seemed to review our growth and persistence. This trip to Yushan is not only a mountain climbing experience, but also a baptism and release from the depths of one’s heart. We set off on our journey home with full of gratitude and memories. *Post-climbing experience* Climbing Mount Yushan is a surprise and achievement for us as we challenge ourselves. This journey made us deeply realize how small and fragile human beings are in the face of nature, and at the same time we also realized the tenacity and strength of life. In the future, we will continue to pursue more peaks and connect more closely with nature. This trip to Yushan will always be the most beautiful page in our hearts. I will continue to challenge other 100 peaks in the future. To be continued~~~~ #Yushan National Park #Taiwan's 100 Peaks

It was the second time I went to Alishan to watch the sunrise, but this time I didn’t take the Zhushan Line train to watch the sunrise. Instead, I went to the vicinity of Yushan National Park. Of course, there weren’t as many people watching the sunrise as when I took the Zhushan Line, so it was easier to get a good spot to watch the sunrise. Of course, you have to leave in the early morning to watch the sunrise, but it was worth it. We chartered a car with different groups of tourists, and not only could we watch the sunrise, but we could also see the sea of ​​clouds. When the sun slowly emerged from the mountain, everyone kept taking photos or videos, and the tour guide also suggested watching it under red cellophane so that it wouldn’t hurt our eyes. After watching the sunrise, we also walked to Yushan National Park to walk around and see the sacred trees, and checked in in front of the Yushan National Park sign.
