Mount Guan, Mountain summit in Central Mountain Range, Taiwan
Mount Guan is a summit in Taiwan's Central Mountain Range standing at approximately 3,668 meters with a distinctly pointed peak shape. From the top, climbers can survey the surrounding mountain landscape and see across multiple ridges in the range.
The mountain received recognition as one of Taiwan's Ten Major Peaks and was designated 'Number One Mountain in Southern Taiwan' by local geographers. This classification reflects its prominence in Taiwan's mountaineering tradition.
The mountain draws serious climbers from across Taiwan who view reaching the top as a significant personal achievement. It holds a special place in the local mountaineering community as a destination that tests and proves one's climbing skills.
The mountain is reached via a hiking trail approximately 7.8 kilometers long that begins from Kuhanuoxin Mountain cabin and requires proper climbing gear. Visitors should monitor weather conditions carefully, as conditions can change rapidly at this elevation.
The western side of the mountain features a sheer vertical cliff face while the southern section extends into a narrow ridge that descends toward lower elevations. This geological variation creates very different climbing experiences depending on which route climbers take.
