Hehuanshan East Peak

#chinatravel If you want that “on top of the world” feeling without hiking for six hours straight, Hehuanshan East Peak (合歡山東峰) in Nantou County is a total win. The trail starts near the parking lot, and it looks chill at first... but yeah, it gets your heart pumping real quick. Lots of stairs and altitude hits different up here, but nothing too crazy. The best part? The views are epic pretty much the whole way. You get rolling green hills, clouds floating by, and sometimes even that sea of clouds moment if the weather’s feeling dramatic. There’s a big rock marker at the top for your classic “I did it” photo too. It’s a solid hike if you’re road tripping through Hehuanshan and want something that feels legit but still doable. Just pace yourself, drink water, and bring a windbreaker because the breeze at the top can be savage. Quick, beautiful, and totally worth the effort.

Hehuanshan National Forest Recreation Area. A Journey Above the Clouds Hehuanshan, located in the northern section of the Central Mountain Range, straddling Nantou and Hualien, is one of the few places in Taiwan with direct vehicle access to a mountain over 3,000 meters. Each season offers its own unique charm: • In spring and summer, mountain flowers bloom, with alpine azaleas and junipers dancing in the breeze; • In autumn, the clear skies are perfect for gazing at the starry sky; • In winter, snow blankets the mountains, making Hehuanshan a rare snow-viewing destination in Taiwan. Standing before the landmark of the "Hehuanshan National Forest Recreation Area," behind you is the vast sky and the ever-changing sea of clouds, as if heaven and earth merge. Here, travelers are more than just sightseers; they are truly sojourners in communion with nature. The allure of Hehuanshan lies not only in its majestic scenery but also in its ability to "see far, think deeply, and achieve a tranquil heart." When the wind blows past your ears and when the clouds rush through the valley, you will truly understand what it means to stand on a high place with a heart as broad as the world.
