Yushan East Peak, Mountain summit in Xinyi Taoyuan District, Taiwan

The East Peak of Yushan rises to 3869 meters, offering views across Taiwan's central range and the surrounding valleys below.

The mountain formation occurred 250 million years ago when the collision of Eurasian tectonic plates created the entire Yushan range.

The Bunun people maintain strong connections to the mountain, considering the surrounding territory as their traditional hunting and gathering grounds.

Climbers need to obtain both a Class A mountain permit and arrange transportation to access the trail leading to the East Peak.

Winter temperatures at the summit drop below freezing, creating frost patterns on exposed rocks and sparse vegetation.
