Yuanzui Mountain, Mountain summit in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan
Description
Yuanzui Mountain is a summit in the Xueshan Range rising to 2,191 meters, marked by steep rock faces and fixed ropes securing certain sections of the trail. The path demands both skill and attention, especially across the more exposed portions.
History
The mountain long served as a natural boundary marker within the Xueshan Range, shaping the region's geography. It connected different areas of central Taiwan through its ridge system and acted as a reference point for travelers.
Culture
Local hiking communities gather at Yuanzui Mountain regularly to practice traditional Taiwanese mountain climbing techniques and share outdoor experiences.
Practical
Hikers must register at the Heping Police Bureau before starting their ascent and should complete the round trip during daylight hours. It helps to start with plenty of time and monitor light conditions throughout the day.
