Easier Route: Details about Hiking Xueshan Main and East Peak You might be curious why we started early on Day 1 since the hike takes around 6 hours. The main reason is that thunderstorms and torrential rains are typical in the mountains during the summer. Getting caught up in the rain is not fun, and the good weather usually turns overcast around noon. Day

Posted by on 7. November 2019 Syue Mountain is the 2nd Highest Mountain in Taiwan at 3886 MASL. It’s a tough climb with mix of stony and scree surface heading to the summit but we were rewarded by clear skies to be amazed by the scenic landscape.#TaleOfTheTrailLooking BackLooking back, I’ve never seen myself as a Mountaineer or probably nowhere near to any fitness activity. My first international climb at Mount Kinabalu, I was wearing an ordinary backpack and just wearing compressions up high at 4,095 MASL at the summit. The second time, I had an uber heavy hiking bag approaching the switchbacks of Mount Fuji and getting amazed at the land of the rising sun view at 3,766 MASL summit. My third climb was both a struggle with the scree (broken rocks) surface heading to 3,677 MASL of Mount Semeru and a total adventure with the off roads heading to Mount Bromo. The Fourth Climb should have been Yushan, which is my last leg of the Asian Trilogy at 3,952 MASL but as fate would have it, we didn’t get the slot on the raffle and had to settle for 3,866 MASL Syue Mountain. Syue MountainSyue Mountain / Snow Mountain / Xueshan is called by locals as the most beautiful mountain in Taiwan and it didn’t disappoint. As painful and hard the climb was, we had a scenic feast of the mountain ranges, the mystical Black Forest and the sea of clouds at this altitude. Makes you appreciate that the best things in life are the ones we worked hard for. Arriving Taipei Early Morning of October 30, 2019, we had the day in Taipei just visiting shops in case we miss out on some outdoor gear. We headed to our home stay in Taichung in the evening (around 1700-1800 MASL) to get a acclimatize with the altitude. We headed the next day at our Jump Off point which is Wu Ling Farm / Shei-pa National Park (2,140 MASL) at around 9 am, which is the start of our hike. We had a short briefing, stretching, getting to know each other. While I’m on my own, Trail Adventours has been a comforting partner in this hikes since I’ve been with them for all my international hikes.Wuling Farm (2,140 MASL) to Hut 369 (3,150 MASL)I’ve plotted the elevations and terrains for the climb reading different post on Xueshan. The first task is hitting 2 kilometers from starting point to Qika Hut. That’s about 320 meters of climbing. The trail were switchback trails to reduce the impact of the climb on dirt surface with stairs. We took the trail track beside the stairs to lessen the effort each step. I joined the first group and it was switchback trail after another. Surprisingly, we’ve finished this part really quick. While the Qika Hut was an easy switchback hike with dirt surface that’s easy to trek. The surface goes a little technical after that with loose rocky surface and the dreaded crying slope along

1: Start the Hike from the Famous Water Reservoir near Xueshan (Syue Mountain) Park Entry Permit Check-in Counter 06:30 We arrived at the Xueshan Park Entry Permit Check-in Counter 雪山登山口服務站, 2,140 meters above sea level.

You will find a detailed map of the Shengleng Trail (Holy Ridge Trail) and posts of millage. The distance to Qika (Cika) Hut is 2 km, to Sanliujiu Hut is 7.1 km, and to Xueshan Main Peak (Mt. Syue) is 10.9 km. It may seem a short hike, but doing this in one day is very challenging. I've stated several times that the distance of the trails in Taiwan can mean nothing. The first 2 km are easy to hike and paved with many stairs. We ran into a Formosan serow 台灣長鬃山羊 grazing the grass. It seemed not bothered or scared by us. We saw another one later.
