Jiayangshan

Jiayangshan is a mountain summit in Shei-Pa National Park that forms part of an alpine ridge system. The area connects multiple peaks and features varying ecological zones at different elevations.

The mountain area contains remnants of Japanese police stations from the colonial period. These structures were built to monitor local communities and oversee resource extraction activities.

The Atayal indigenous people maintain their traditions in Huanshan village near Jiayang Mountain, practicing traditional weaving and performing cultural ceremonies.

The climb uses the Big Sword and Little Sword Trail, passing through four separate peaks along the way. The complete journey takes three days of sustained hiking over mountain terrain.

The mountain supports several plant species adapted to specific elevations, including Taiwan red cypress and Yushan juniper. Each zone creates distinct growing conditions that travelers can observe as they climb.
