Manabang Shan, Mountain summit in Taichung County, Taiwan
Manabang Shan is a mountain summit in the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan that rises to 3,326 meters elevation. The terrain consists of steep slopes, mountain forests, and rock formations that reveal shifting views as you climb.
The mountain formed through tectonic processes that shaped Taiwan's mountain range over millions of years. Its location made it a natural landmark in the geographic and administrative development of the island.
Local indigenous communities maintain traditional practices of collecting medicinal herbs and performing ceremonies on specific areas of the mountain.
Visitors must obtain a permit from the Forestry Bureau and bring adequate water and sturdy footwear. The weather can change rapidly at elevation, so plan for rain gear and layered clothing to handle temperature shifts.
Multiple hiking trails branch across the mountain and intersect at different elevations, creating varied route options. This network of paths allows visitors with different fitness levels to choose appropriate challenges.
