Hehuanshan Visitor Center, Mountain visitor center in Nantou County, Taiwan
Hehuanshan Visitor Center sits at 3422 meters elevation in Taiwan's Central Mountain Range and commands views across five surrounding peaks. The facility provides maps, guides, and refreshments to help visitors explore the surrounding terrain.
Originally called Hehuan Lodge, the site underwent complete reconstruction in 2011 and reopened as a modern facility in January 2014. This transformation updated the building to better serve visitors in this remote high-altitude setting.
The center showcases how indigenous groups have long held gatherings and maintained their ways of life in these mountains. Walking through it, you sense how deeply connected these communities remain to this high-altitude landscape.
Three daily buses connect the center to Cingjing Farm below, making it accessible without a personal vehicle. It is best to visit in clear weather to fully experience the mountain views and plan for cool temperatures even in warmer months.
This location marks Taiwan's first dark sky park, where visitors can observe stars under ideal high-altitude conditions. The remoteness and elevation create rare opportunities to view the night sky with minimal light interference.
