Dahengpingshan, Mountain summit in Taiwan's central region.
Dahengping Shan is a mountain summit in Taiwan's central region that rises to 1206 meters and features rocky terrain with dense bamboo forests. The peak is accessible through several hiking trails and industrial roads that serve different skill levels and preferences.
The mountain was marked by the 1999 earthquake, which damaged its triangulation point at the summit. The destroyed marker was later rebuilt by the Thousand Peaks Club in March 2006.
Local mountaineering communities have maintained traditional routes and use red ribbon markings to help other hikers navigate safely. These practices show how deeply rooted climbing culture is in the region's identity.
The main trail is 4.4 kilometers long and requires about 5 hours to complete, with an elevation gain of 301 meters across industrial roads and mountain paths. It's wise to start early and wear sturdy footwear since the terrain is variable and can be slippery after rain.
On clear days, visitors can spot the Nine-Nine Peaks from the summit as well as views of Taichung city and National Highway 6 stretching across the landscape. This panorama makes it a valuable spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts.
