Xueshan North Peak

The North Peak of Xueshan reaches an elevation of 3,703 meters, making it part of Taiwan's second highest mountain range within Shei-Pa National Park.

Japanese climbers completed the first recorded ascent of Xueshan North Peak in 1935, leading to its incorporation into Tsugitaka-Taroko National Park by 1937.

The peak holds significance in Atayal indigenous culture, where the mountain range carries the traditional name Sekuwan in their native language.

Hikers must obtain permits between 35 days and 4 months before climbing, with two mountain shelters available at the 2.0 and 6.9 kilometer marks.

The 10.9-kilometer trail to the summit requires specialized snow climbing techniques during winter months, despite Taiwan's subtropical latitude.
