Yushan Main Peak, Mountain summit in Taiwan.
The Main Peak of Yushan reaches 3,952 meters in elevation, making it the highest point in Taiwan and the western Pacific region.
The first recorded ascent of Yushan occurred in 1900 when Japanese anthropologists Torii Ryūzō and Ushinosuke Mori reached the summit.
Indigenous Bunun people maintain strong connections to Yushan through their traditions, ceremonies, and oral histories passed down through generations.
Climbers must obtain Class A mountain permits and form groups of at least three people before attempting to reach Yushan's summit.
