Yushan National Park is home to Yushan (Jade Mountain), which at 3,952 meters (12,966 feet) above sea level, is the highest mountain in Taiwan and indeed all of Northeast Asia.
Rich Biodiversity Hotspot
The park's diverse altitudes and climate zones create a haven for a vast array of plant and animal life, including many species endemic to Taiwan, such as the Formosan black bear, Formosan serow, and Formosan sambar deer.
Spanning Climate Zones
Due to its significant elevation changes, Yushan National Park encompasses four distinct climate zones: subtropical, temperate, subalpine, and alpine, leading to incredible ecological diversity within its boundaries.
