Ganzuowan Mountain, Mountain peak in Ren'ai Township, Taiwan.
Ganzuowan Mountain reaches 3,284 meters above sea level and features steep rock walls and multiple summits within Taiwan's Central Mountain Range. The terrain changes noticeably as elevation increases, with different plant zones and rock formations throughout the ascent.
The mountain received recognition in 1971 as part of the Taiwan 100 Peaks list, which honors the most important mountains across the island. This designation brought attention to the summit and established its place among Taiwan's major climbing destinations.
The mountain serves as a natural laboratory for researchers studying high-altitude ecosystems and geological formations across Taiwan's Central Mountain Range. Scientists use the different elevation zones to observe how nature functions in this remote region.
Climbers need specialized equipment and detailed maps to navigate safely, as the trails present technical challenges throughout the ascent. The best time to climb is outside the rainy season, when conditions remain more stable and safer overall.
The summit actually consists of three distinct peaks - Main Peak, Sancha Peak, and Southeastern Peak - each offering different outlooks. These multiple points create varied climbing experiences depending on which route climbers choose to follow.
