About the tour

A visit to the most easily accessible mountain above 3,000m in Taiwan, located in the country’s central region in the Central Mountain Range: Hehuanshan (Mt. Hehuan).

Experience Hehuanshan’s summertime alpine flower bloom, painting the high-mountain slopes with brilliant colors.

A day traveling to Hehuanshan and back, with pick-up and drop-off at Taichung HSR Station and Qingjing Farm.


The Hehuanshan cluster of peaks is located in central Taiwan, at the junction of Taichung County and Nantou County. The massif is topped by seven interconnected summits. The distinctive landscape here is characterized by an alpine coniferous forest, home to Taiwan’s endemic species and grasslands of Yushan Cane (a type of arrow bamboo). A high-grade highway enables motor-vehicle access, making Hehuanshan’s summits the most accessible of the Taiwan 100 Peaks. (*The Taiwan 100 Peaks were selected by prominent members of Taiwan’s mountaineering community from among peaks above 3,000m in elevation; the selection criteria included uniqueness, danger, height, beauty, and prominence.)


In winter, many tourists come to experience the thrill of fresh snowfalls. In spring and summer, Hehuanshan walks and hikes bring you through exquisitely beautiful blooms, making the mountain a dazzlingly colorful world of flowers!


Alpine flowers are an important ecological feature of Hehuanshan. The terrain variation and abundant rainfall has made Hehuanshan rich with endemic alpine plants. In spring and summer seasons come the Yushan Rhododendron, Red-hairy Rhododendron, and grass-of-Parnassus, and in mid-summer the Taiwan Lily, Japanese Knotweed, Goldenrod, and Small Leaf Edelweiss. The Taiwan Monkshood, Yushan Pink, and others take their turn in autumn, bringing a new blaze of beauty to the mountaintop. During your 1-day Hehuanshan tour the peak-ascent trail will be chosen according to optimal flower-viewing conditions.


- Scenic Highlights -

▲ Hehuanshan National Forest Recreation Area
This was Taiwan’s first designated national forest recreation area. Among the numerous high-mountain summits in the park are Mt. Hehuan Main Peak, Mt. Hehuan East Peak, Mt. Hehuanjian, and Mt. Shihmen. The coniferous forest landscape over 3,000m high is a rarity around the globe, featuring an undulating interchange between coniferous trees and waving Yushan Cane that creates a forest boundary land terrain that is dramatically unique. The Yushan Juniper seen at Hehuanshan’s East Peak or North Peak reflects Taiwan's unique fearless characteristics in the face of frost, snow or strong wind. This Taiwan’s endemic species (Yushan Juniper) standing at the high mountain add picturesque atmosphere to the surrounding areas.

▲ Mt. Hehuan East Peak Trail
Mt. Hehuan East Peak is the second highest among the Hehuanshan cluster, at 3,421m. The upper reaches stand towering, majestic, and independent, and the field of view on the peak is wide open. It can be reached in about an hour from the trailhead. The scenery along the trail is distinct in each of the four seasons. This is the area of greatest Yushan Rhododendron concentration, and during the May/June bloom the mountainside comes alive with pastel purples and reds.

▲ Mt. Hehuan North Peak Trail
Mt. Hehuan North Peak has an altitude of 3,422m, making it the tallest among the Hehuanshan group. From the trailhead, the hike to the peak and back takes 4-5 hours. The North Peak is Hehuanshan’s premier place for the viewing the Red-hairy Rhododendron; once past the trailhead you’ll find yourself amidst a sea of flowers, in a spectacular Red-hairy Rhododendron world.
