Xiangyangshan is a summit within Taiwan's Central Mountain Range, located entirely within Yushan National Park. The peak rises to about 3,600 meters and features steep slopes on its eastern side with clear views across neighboring ridges.

The summit was integrated into Taiwan's mountaineering classification system and has maintained consistent ranking among the nation's major peaks. This recognition reflects its importance in regional geography across successive decades.

Indigenous communities of the region have deep connections to this summit as part of their traditional territories. The mountain serves as a waypoint on routes that link different settlements across the ranges.

Trails leading to the peak are best approached during warmer months when snow and ice do not block the higher sections. Lodging options are available near Haiduan Township, making an early start practical for reaching the summit within daylight hours.

Rare alpine plant species thrive at this precise location due to specific elevation and ridgeline conditions. Visitors walking the summit ridge often spot endemic flora that flourishes particularly well in this section of Taiwan's higher zones.
