Baxianshan, Mountain summit in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan

Baxianshan rises to 2,448 meters in elevation within the Xueshan Range, situated between the Shifen River and Jiabo River watersheds in central Taiwan.

The mountain served as one of Taiwan's three primary logging stations during the Japanese colonial period, leading to the development of multiple forest trails.

The mountain's name connects to Chinese mythology, as its elevation of 8,000 Taiwanese feet shares pronunciation with 'Eight Immortals' in the local language.

Visitors reach the mountain via bus route 153 from Taichung High Speed Rail Station to Kukuan Village, followed by local transport to the recreational area.

The mountain environment supports 59 native bird species and five migratory bird species throughout its forested slopes and varied elevation zones.
