North Dawu Mountain, Mountain summit in Pingtung County, Taiwan.
North Dawu Mountain reaches an elevation of 3,092 meters, making it the highest peak in southern Taiwan and one of the five dominant mountains in the country.
The Council of Agriculture designated Dawu Mountain Nature Reserve in January 1988 to protect endangered species including the Formosan clouded leopard in this region.
The mountain holds sacred significance for the Rukai and Paiwan tribes of Taiwan, who maintain deep ancestral connections to the surrounding territories.
Hikers access the mountain through a new trailhead near Taiwu Primary School, with the recommended hiking period extending from April through November.
The mountain stands within a nature reserve spanning 47,000 hectares, containing five vegetation zones from tropical monsoon rainforests to cool-temperate coniferous forests.
