Hehuanshan

Mount Hehuan extends across Nantou and Hualien counties, reaching an elevation of 3,416 meters with multiple peaks in Taroko National Park.

In 1913, surveyor Yasushi Noro faced a tragic expedition where 89 Taiwanese team members perished during a storm before successfully climbing later that year.

The mountain holds deep connections to local indigenous communities and forms part of Taiwan's Baiyue, a collection of 100 significant mountain peaks.

Visitors can access the mountain through Highway 14, which leads to Wuling Pass at 3,275 meters, the highest road point in East Asia.

The mountain receives regular snowfall during winter months, creating an unusual alpine environment in subtropical Taiwan.
