Yushan West Peak, Mountain summit in Yushan National Park, Taiwan.
Yushan West Peak rises to 3,518 meters, featuring steep trails through dense forests of fir trees and bamboo groves on its western slopes.
During the Japanese colonial period, a Shinto shrine was constructed at the summit, with its remnants still visible as a testament to past religious practices.
The mountain path incorporates traditional Chinese land deity shrines, where hikers leave offerings for protection during their climbing expeditions.
Access to Yushan West Peak requires obtaining permits one month in advance and typically involves a two-day journey with overnight accommodation at Paiyun Lodge.
The geological formation consists of metamorphic rocks from the ancient Tananao Complex, creating distinct patterns visible along the climbing routes.
