#047 – Mt. Danda 丹大山 – 3,329m

Located in front of the famously technical Five Rock Peak Cliffs (五岩峰斷崖)  Mt. Nanhubei (南湖北山) is located on the North First Section of Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range (北一段), which runs in a giant loop over typically six or seven days (depending on a hiker’s fitness).

Mt. Nanhubei is ranked #022 of Taiwan’s Top 100 Mountains.

#011 – Mt. Zhongyangjian 中央尖山 – 3,698m

At 3,698m, Mt. Zhongyangjian (中央尖山) has a reputation in the Taiwanese hiking community as being one of the most dangerous and difficult mountains to climb. While it is true it’s not easy to get to, it’s also one of our favorites.

Mt. Zhongyangjian (中央尖山) is ranked #011 on the Top 100 Mountains in Taiwan.

#010 – Snow Mountain N. Peak 雪山北峰 – 3,703m

The North Peak of Snow Mountain (雪山北峰) stands at 3,703m and lies on the north ridge of Snow Mountain’s Main Peak.
Typically, it’s too far out of the way for most hikers to do as part of the normal 2 or 3-day ascent to Snow Mountain’s Main Peak.

Snow Mountain North Peak is ranked #010 on the Top 100 Mountains in Taiwan.

#009 – Mt. Dongxiaonan 東小南山 – 3,709m

Mt. Dongxiaonan (東小南山) is one of the four “Rear” peaks of Jade Mountain, that is usually bunched in with Yushan South Peak (玉山南峰) and Lushan (鹿山) on the second or third day of the four-day rear peaks route.

Mt. Dongxiaonan is ranked #009 on the Top 100 Mountains in Taiwan.

#006 – Mt. Xiugulan 秀姑巒山 – 3,895m

Ranked at the C level (2nd highest difficulty level), the fifth of the ‘must-do’ mountains, Mt. Xiugulan (秀姑巒山) is on a whole other level. Standing at 3,895m, it’s the highest mountain on the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan, which is often referred to the “Spine” of Taiwan.

Listed as #006 on the Top 100 Mountains in Taiwan.

#005 – Yushan South Peak 玉山南峰 – 3,852m

Yushan South Peak 玉山南峰 reaches 3,852m and is one of the nine peaks of Jade Mountain.

Getting to the four “rear” peaks is considerably harder and allows for a visit to Yuanfeng Cabin (圓峰山屋), the highest mountain house in Taiwan.

Listed as #005 on the Top 100 Mountains in Taiwan.
