Jiji Great Mountain

Jiji Great Mountain is a summit in Taiwan crisscrossed by hiking trails that pass through multiple elevation zones with changing terrain and plant life. The paths range from gentler sections to steeper climbs and move through distinct vegetation zones as the altitude increases.

The summit was formed through tectonic plate movements where the Eurasian Plate and Philippine Sea Plate collided over millions of years. This geological process created the distinctive topography that exists today.

Local communities in the area regard the mountain as a sacred place and incorporate it into their regional celebrations and everyday routines. It holds special meaning in the lives of people living in the nearby villages and shapes how they connect with their surroundings.

Hikers need to obtain a permit before accessing the trails, and the autumn season offers the most stable weather conditions for the visit. During this time of year, visitors can expect the most reliable conditions for their hike.

The mountain is home to plant species found nowhere else, which have adapted to the specific altitude and climate conditions of its slopes. These plants exist only on this summit.
