Yushan National Park

Yushan National Park is the largest and most pristine national park in Taiwan. The park holds many of the tallest mountains on the island. Yushan itself is the highest peak in Eastern Asia at 3,952 meters. Within the 105,490 hectares of national park, the elevation ranges from 300 to 3952 meters, and the diversity of plant and wildlife reflects this variation of topography. In addition, the Ching Dynasty Trail crosses the center of the Yushan Mountain Ridge and is a precious cultural resource which is compatible with the natural beauty of the area.
Because Yushan remains extensively undisturbed by humankind, it is on of the few remaining homes of Taiwan's large mammals. Formosan muntjac, Formosan serow, Formosan black bear, and Formosan rock monkey are
among the mammals in the parka. Of the 130 bird species, the Mikado pheasant (Syrmaticus mikado) and Swinhoe"s blue pheasant (Lophura swinhoii) are beautiful, but rare representatives. As with most natural areas in Taiwan, Yushan has many species of butterflies.
