Jiufenershan, Mountain summit in Nantou County, Taiwan

The Jiufenershan summit rises to 1,174 meters above sea level and features two barrier lakes formed after substantial geological changes.

During the 921 earthquake of September 1999, the mountain experienced a catastrophic landslide that reduced its height by 400 meters.

The mountain serves as a national memorial site, documenting the impact of natural disasters through preserved structures and educational exhibits.

Visitors can access the mountain through three different trailheads, with the main route starting from the Shimen Viewing Platform.

The earthquake created two natural water bodies, Sezai Lake and Garlic Lake, spanning across 180 hectares of transformed landscape.
