鳥嘴山, Mountain peak in Wufeng Township, Taiwan
Bird's Beak Mountain stands at 1,305 meters and features thick forest that covers its slopes and ridges. The terrain includes multiple hiking paths that wind through the woodlands, each offering different views as you climb higher.
Indigenous tribes including the Atayal established settlements and hunting grounds in these forests long before modern trails were developed. Their presence shaped how this mountain landscape has been used and valued throughout time.
The Atayal people gave this peak its local name Ptlaman, showing how deeply they understood this landscape. That heritage remains visible in how the mountain landscape is part of their traditional territory.
Wear sturdy hiking boots and prepare for changing weather conditions at higher elevations. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable conditions for walking, while summers tend to be very humid.
From the summit you can see the full span of Shihmen Reservoir and the tea plantation fields below in all directions. This complete viewpoint shows how the mountain overlooks both the waterway and the agricultural lands that define the region.
