Taiwan's total land area is only about 36,000 square kilometers (14,400 square miles); it is shaped like a leaf that is narrow at both ends. It lies off the southeastern coast of mainland Asia, a solitary island on the western edge of the Pacific Ocean. To the north lies Japan; to the south is the Philippines. Many airlines fly to Taiwan, helping make it the perfect travel destination.Taiwan lies on the western edge of the Pacific "rim of fire," and continuous tectonic movements have created majestic peaks, rolling hills and plains, basins, coastlines, and other wonders. Taiwan's tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate climates provide clear differentiation between the different seasons. There are about 18,400 species of wildlife on the island, with more than 20% belonging to rare or endangered species. Among these are the land-locked salmon, Taiwan mountain goat, Formosan rock monkey, Formosan black bear, blue magpie, Mikado pheasant, Hsuehshan grass lizard, and many more.Taiwan government has established 7 national parks and 13 national scenic areas to preserve Taiwan's best natural ecological environment and cultural sites. Take a hike in the splendor and sheer heights of the cliffs at Taroko Gorge; take a ride on the Alishan Forest Railway and experience the breathtaking sunrise and sea of clouds; hike up to the summit of Northeast Asia's highest peak, Jade Mountain. You can also soak up the sun in Kending, Asia's version of Hawaii; stand at the edge of Sun Moon Lake; traipse through the East Rift Valley; or visit the offshore islands of Kinmen and Penghu. It's fun in capital letters as well as an awesome journey of natural discovery! The cultural aspects are also not to be missed. The blending of Hakka, Taiwanese and indigenous people cultures has produced a rich plethora of cultural and social color. Whether it is religion, architecture, language, living habits, or food, it's just one big exciting melting pot! Food is the best representative of this cultural mixing and matching. Taiwanese night markets is a "must see/try".

大小劍山果然名不虛傳, 三天的行程, 前面兩天幾乎泡在水中,風雨悽苦行
第一天重裝爬升1800公尺到由婆蘭營地, 第二天雖是輕裝, 但是由布伕奇寒山到佳陽山然後到劍山, 大大小小的山頭過了10幾個, 又下切很深後再爬升, 最後幾乎是摸黑回到營地, 我們隊員分批返抵油婆蘭, 最快12小時, 但最慢的走了17小時才抵達, 小劍山真的是難搞啊!
大劍山則是雄偉俊俏, 果然有十峻的大山氣勢!
Journey to Taiwan's Top 100 Peaks: Mt. Da-Jian, Mt. Jia-Yang and Mt. Jian

All peaks in the list met certain criteria: elevation exceeding 3,000 meters, summit placed with survey markers and famous for their beauty and treacherousness. This elite list is since then widely...

玉山主峰攻頂 (塔塔加登山口)玉山主峰 (3,952 m) 為台灣及東北亞最高峰, 主要由兩處登山口可達: 北面之東埔登山口及西面之塔塔加登山口. 塔塔加段因距離較短, 且中途有排雲山莊提供休憩, 最受遊客喜愛. 由塔塔加段攻頂者大多採二日行程, 首日由登山口出發, 中途行經孟祿亭,前峰登山口,西峰下觀景台及大峭壁,走至排雲山莊住宿休息 (8.5 km). 次日由排雲山莊出發攻頂(2.2 km), 攻頂後直接返回登山口 (10.7 km) 結束行程. 新中橫上東埔停車場與登山口間 (2.8 km), 有接駁車可搭乘. 往主峰步道距塔塔加登山口不遠處有大規模崩塌, 須小心通過. 玉山主峰前碎石坡, 常有強風, 需手握鐵索小心行進.玉山主峰二日攻頂路線 (住宿排雲山莊):

大霸群峰位於新竹縣與台中縣的交界, 此次由北稜攀登, 循著Y聖與O聖的邊緣而過, 感覺果然不同凡響. 大霸尖山的雄壯與小霸尖山的婉約,果然是兩山而鄰,相得益彰! 伊澤山與加利山亦雄踞於兩旁購成美麗的大霸群峰, 此次順道探訪99山莊, 也覺得頗為值得! 另外巴紗拉雲山也是觀看雪山北峰與穆特勒布山還有品田山的最佳去處. 最後順登品田與池有山才發現清晨的品田山是綜觀南湖中央尖,北二段還有其來主北的最佳去處,當然雪山主東近在咫尺,真希望在往前親臨,不過有品田的角度看來, 最不可錯過的應該是穆特勒布山!行程記錄 (→→:表示車行 →:表示步行):

嘉明湖位於南橫公路三叉山東側，與向陽山直線距離約7公里處，屬於台東縣海端鄉，海拔3310公尺是非常美麗的隋圓形高山湖泊，湖水長年永不乾枯。湖面長約 120 公尺，寬約 80 公尺，由於地處玉山國家公園的南端，據地質學家研究是隕石所造成的高山湖，近年來許多登山友驚嘆這高山湖似藍寶石般美麗，漸漸有人稱它為「天使的眼淚」。嘉明湖國家步道為中央山脈南二段的一部分，途經兩條百岳(向陽山及三叉山)，展望極佳，其中向陽山隔著南橫公路與關山遙遙相望。
