(Taipei) –Yushan is where you find the good place for travelling

Yushan (玉山 Yùshān), also known as Jade Mountain or Mt. Jade, at 3952m, is the highest mountain in Taiwan. It has also been claimed to be the tallest mountain in East Asia, but this depends on how one defines "East Asia".

Yushan is in many ways a hiker's paradise for its ruggedness, undeveloped tourist industry and relative lack of competing travelers. In spite of all that, the trails are still well-maintained and well-labeled, so it's not as if you're roughing it on your own in the middle of the Himalayas.

 The Yushan area contains five peaks, simply labeled "Main Peak" and one each for North, South, East and West. The Main Peak is the highest (though not by much) and the most popular. The mountain lies just east of Alishan, and contains some of Taiwan's most distinctive flora and fauna. A trip to the Taipei Zoo might uncover some of the same species, such as the Formosan Black Bear.

 The only way to get anywhere or do anything in Yushan is to hike. Some of the trails are not particularly short - getting from the beginning of the main peak trail at Tatajia Anbu to Paiyun Lodge is around 8.5k.

Yushan and surrounding mountains belong to Yushan Range, which is part of Yushan National Park in Taiwan. Taiwan Yushan National Park is largest, highest and most accessible national parks. This tract contains the largest remaining wilderness in Taiwan and is also credited with pristine forests and diversity of fauna, including endemic spcies.

Yushan Park is located near Beiji Park and Yushan Bridge in the northern part of downtown in Guilin, Guangxi province. The park got this name because Yushan Mountain is in it. It is a recommendation to start the trip around Guilin from this place, as it is a source of the city’s history.
