Xueshan, Mountain summit in Heping District, Taiwan
Xueshan reaches 3,886 meters in elevation, making it the second-highest peak in Taiwan and East Asia, located within Shei-Pa National Park.
The Japanese colonial administration designated this mountain as Tsugitaka-Taroko National Park in December 1937, following the first recorded climb in 1935.
The mountain holds different names across cultures, from Sekuwan in Atayal language to Mount Sylvia by Western explorers during the Qing Dynasty period.
Hikers must obtain both a park entry permit between 5 to 60 days before visiting and a police mountain permit at Wuling Farm's station.
The trail features two shelters, Chika Cabin at 2 kilometers and 369 Cabin at 6.9 kilometers, before reaching the final summit at 10.9 kilometers.
