Eastern Taiwan - Yushan - 2D2N Hiking Tour

Yushan (Jade Mountain), 3952m from the sea level, is not only the highest mountain peak in Taiwan but also in Eastern Asia (higher than Mt. Fuji in Japan). However, the hiking trail itself is rather friendly compared to other high mountain hikes in Taiwan. As such a significant but friendly landmark, Jade Mountain undoubtedly becomes one of the most popular hiking routes in Taiwan.

Yushan hiking trail locates in the Yushan National Park. To do a hike in a national park, it’s necessary to apply for permits. However, the capacity in Paiyun Lodge is limited. Jade Mountain’s reputation makes it very difficult to get the permits, especially on weekends and holidays. Good news is that Yushan National Park allows a specific number of foreign hikers (24 people per day; proved by a copy of passports) to get the permits on weekdays (Sun. ~ Thurs.) in advance. For foreign hikers, we strongly suggest you should visit Yushan during weekdays to easier get your permits. In order to apply the permits to Yushan through a foreigner-advanced process, the application can be registered 4 months before your hiking date. Earlier you apply for permits within this 4 months, the higher the probability you can get the permits. For hikers who prefer more challengeable hiking, you may consider other hiking routes in Taiwan, such as Nanhu Mountain and Chilai Mountain.
