Xueshan East Peak, Mountain peak in Heping District, Taiwan.

Xueshan East Peak rises to 3,201 meters within the Shei-Pa National Park, offering views across multiple mountain ranges of central Taiwan.

The mountain received its name during the Qing Dynasty, when Western visitors named it Mount Sylvia before Japan renamed it Tsugitakayama in 1923.

Local Atayal indigenous people named the mountain Sekuwan, referring to the geological characteristic of rocks breaking into smaller fragments.

Climbers need to obtain permits between 35 days and 4 months in advance, depending on whether they are local or international visitors.

The summit trail passes through two mountain cabins, requiring hikers to carry their own sleeping and cooking equipment for overnight stays.
