Nanyushan, Mountain summit in Yushan National Park, Taiwan
Nanyushan is a mountain summit in Yushan National Park that rises to approximately 3,383 meters and displays mixed terrain features. The western flank drops steeply while the eastern side slopes more gently and is covered with dense Yushan cane vegetation.
The area served as hunting territory for the Bunun indigenous people who have lived in central Taiwan for generations. The mountain marked an important zone within the broader network of hunting grounds established across the regional mountain ranges.
The summit holds importance in Taiwan's mountaineering community and attracts climbers seeking to test themselves against high-altitude challenges. Reaching the peak carries meaning for local climbers as a personal achievement within Taiwan's mountain culture.
Visiting this summit requires obtaining permits from Yushan National Park authorities and following established safety protocols for high-altitude climbing. Climbers should prepare thoroughly and assess physical demands realistically before planning an ascent.
The mountain slopes support populations of anaphalis morrisonicola, a flowering plant found only in Taiwan's high-altitude regions. This rare vegetation is a botanical feature that distinguishes the summit from other mountain destinations across the island.
