This is the most famous mountain in Taiwan for people who want to see and experience the snow during winter. It was a fun experience for me in visiting this place. Every moment is worth it. I travel with some new friends who are really kind and fun to be with. Just to share, while we are inside the car going up the mountain, we made an experiment which is waiting for the snacks to burst in it's own packaging because of the gravity and it really happend. I hope I could able to record a video of that haha!. After a long travel, we reached the top of the snow mountain. I feel like one of my dreams came true because it was my childhood dream to see and experience the snow. Although, the snow is about to melt because summer is approaching but I still enjoyed it. Some visit the place during the peak season of winter which is very cold and some are lucky to really experience the snow storm but I guess it is still a perfect timing for us to come at that time because it wasn' t so cold. Yes there is snow around but the sun is up and shining which give us heat that our body need to survive in that place. It help us survive the cold and have more time to enjoy the beautiful Snow Mountain. Guess what?!?:) Some of my friends took off their winter coat and took a selfie which I think is cool. It is just like they are showing how brave they are for doing that where in fact it wasn't that hard because the sun is up and it was not sooo cold. Yeah it is cold but still tolerable because of the heat from the sun. Indeed, this is the most unforgettable place I ever visited in Taiwan. It makes one of my dream came true. I am...

I climbed this in January 2019 with a group lead by Taiwan Adventures ( great company by the way I’ve used them twice now ). Sadly no snow but very cold on the top. We climbed through the night from the hut to arrive for sunrise. Absolutely stunning and well worth it. Nothing technical but a nonetheless demanding walk. The only thing I don’t love though, is a feature of many Taiwanese mountains and is the man-made steps for large sections of the climb. I must admit lots of places in the uk are getting like this as well in response to erosion. This should be a serious consideration for any active outsdoors person visiting Taiwan. Thoroughly recommend. The advantages of going with a group are - they deal with the access issues, transport, food, route finding and you meet loads of great new people and with this company there are no...

Beautiful hike with a very varied scenery! Getting the lottery for housing can be difficult but don't give up!

The Black Forest is most beautiful with fog and/or minor rain, not to mention snowy conditions. Possible sighting of wild life.

Despite it's name, visiting Snow Mountain while there's snow on it is difficult and very time limited. If you're lucky, definitely bring the metal shoe spikes thingies as it's rather frozen ice than snow.

Also possible to do one day hike, if you can't get any housing. (Sneaky camping still possible in a few areas, especially past...
