Sancha Mountain, Mountain summit in Zhuoxi Township, Taiwan.
Sancha Mountain is a summit in Taiwan's Central Mountain Range reaching approximately 3,257 meters in elevation. The slopes are blanketed with coniferous forests and varied plant life that define the alpine landscape.
During the Japanese colonial period, structures including police stations were built along traditional paths in the mountain area. These remnants show how the region was controlled and monitored during that time.
The mountain region remains a home to Bunun, Truku, and Seediq communities who continue to maintain ties to these ancestral territories. These indigenous peoples have shaped how the area is understood and used over generations.
Access requires permits from Yushan National Park authorities and advance planning of your route before heading out. The main trails connect through the Walami and Batongguan routes, which should be carefully researched beforehand.
The peak serves as a natural boundary between Zhuoxi Township of Hualien County and Haiduan Township of Taitung County. This geographic position makes it a notable reference point for the entire region.
