Sharing some transport details for those visiting Taiwan and wish to trek the highest (Yushan) and 2nd highest (Xueshan) mountains in a trip. Applying of the relevant permits,details can be found easily online. I did a 2 days 1 night Mt Xueshan trek follow by a single days Mt Yushan trek in Dec 2018. Start from Taipei airport to Taipei train station by bus 1819 NT$125.Train to Yilan NT$218. From Yilan train station take a short walking distance to the bus station, take bus 1751 NT$285 (dep 1240hr) to Lishan. Get off at Wuling farm ( arr 1525hr). Check into Hoya hotel. 2nd day after breakfast walk to the police station apply for the mountain permit and start your trek to Mt Xueshan peak. Hitch-hike to the starting point if possible. Trek to 369 hut and rest for the day. 3rd day start trekking at 0130hr and catch the sunrise at Xueshan summit. Return back to visitor centre to catch bus to yilan, Last bus dep at 1410hr. We reach the visitor centre late as we cant hitch any car. So we change route and took the 1540hr bus to Lishan. Spend a night in Lishan, if you want save on hotel you could try a night stay in the temple for free. But we did not as we really need a good shower and sleep after the Mt Xueshan trekking. 4th day we took a 9 seaters van which cost NT$600 per person to bring us to Taichung speed rail station. (can be arranged once you arrive in Lishan, look for those vendors selling fruits at the bus station. They could help you to make the arrangement). Upon reaching Taichung, take a train to Chaiyi NT$215. Stay a night in Chaiyi. Remember to try the turkey rice which is a must try in Chaiyi. 5th day take the bus 7322 NT$240 to Alishan (2hr). Get the ticket at Alishan 7-11 to Sun moon lake, bus 6739 alighting at Upper Dongpu NT$60 (dep 1pm or 2pm). Check into Dongpu villa NT$300 ( You can ask the Yushan national park staff to assist in the reservation). 6th day start the trek at 2am. Proceed to drop the permit at the police station and trek to Yushan peak.. Return back to Dongpu villa. Last shuttle service at 5pm. Stay 1 more night Dongpu as last bus to Alishan is 11.30am 7th day take the 1st bus at 10.30am to Alishan NT$68 then by train to Chaiyi NT$240. From Chaiyi you could choose to return to Taipei or Kaoshiung by train. We choose Kaoshiung and spend another wonderful times at Kaoshiung night market. *bring enough food and water for the trekking. *water can be replenish at 369 hut for Xueshan trek and Paiyun lodge for Yushan trek. *bring own sleeping bag for 369 hut. *Xueshan trek is harder then Yushan trek.

The Yuanzueishan Trail is approximately 3 km long. This is a thrilling summit-ascent route that is divided into three parts, including forest trail, moss-covered primeval forest pathway, and natural rock walls. A hike-and-climb route with great variation, the first half of the hike features stair ascents and original forest. The second half features fast-rising altitude and then encounters rock walls, with knife-blade vertical cliff faces of almost 90 degrees.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 555 reviews
The climate of the four seasons in Hehuanshan National Forest Recreation Area is distinct, and each season has very diverse scenery. In spring, you will see trees growing in green abundance with new leaves. In summer, the cool weather and beautiful sea of flowers of the blooming alpine plants is very attractive. In autumn, splendid red leaves glow, while the winter brings pure, white snow. If you stay in Song-Syue Lodge, you can enjoy the gorgeous glow of the ocean of stars. Transport to this location is convenient so it is a great place to enjoy the mountain scenery of Taiwan.

Did a road trip from Hualien to Taroko Gorge and Hehuanshan before arriving at CingJing. It was long and winding road from Taroko gorge to Hehuanshan with my husband and i dozing off alternatively. There are few rest areas for toilet breaks, however we did not find much cafes or restaurants on the way so highly suggest to take fulfilling meal before or pack some bites. This is by far the tallest spot i have gone to, and i have no regrets. Mother Nature is beautiful, and the view from the top resonates this. Saw some snow on the way to the top also. For someone who loves nature as much as me, believe me when i say that this place is worth the trip as the surrounding is phenomenal!! Weather at the top can drop suddenly so it is advisable to bring thick jackets. It was 17 degrees when we reached, which soon dropped to 6.5degrees after 10mins. My only regret is not being able to watch the sunrise or sunset, but judging from multiple blogs i have read, the view would have spectacular during these times. However, we reached there almost evening and it was magical enough. I would definitely go again, just for the view and the cloud sea!

Green Island is a small island off Taitung. Rounding the island spends less than 2 hours. There are so many different natural ecology on the island, so you can see many different wild animals and plant. It's also famous famous for its beautiful scenery, there are beautiful coral reef, majestic rocks, beautiful white beach. Because it is a volcanic island, there also have hot spring. You can take the outdoor hot spring watch the sunrise and starry sky, and you must be shocked by the amazing sights.That is really great and makes people relax. If you want to travel somewhere for relaxing. I think Green Island is a good choice.

The gondola cable cars take you from the edge of Taipei over 300 meters up to Maokong Station in the mountain range beyond the city. Although there is a ‘crystal cabin’ option with glass-bottomed cars, we took the standard gondola cars in both directions to and from Maokong Station where we stopped for lunch. The views going up and coming back are breathtaking, the panoramic vistas incredible! Highly recommend!

Definitely go. 100%. This park was the highlight of our 5-day trip and we are so glad we made the decision to spend 2 nights in nearby Xinchang in order to do it right. There are a few local buses that you can buy passes for to easily get around the park, with information desks or signs clearly explaining each place. It’s well managed and planned. Definitely go to Swallow Grotto before 9am if you can and walk the Baiyang trail to the spectacular falls. We’ll be back, absolutely!
