Da Ba Jian Mountain

Da Ba Jian Mountain is part of the Snow Mountain Range and is currently under the jurisdiction of Shei-Pa National Park. With its cylindrical shape and cliffs on all sides that are devoid of vegetation, the unique mountain form has earned Da Ba Jian Mountain the reputation of a ‘Century Wonder Peak’. As Da Ba Jian Mountain is considered a sacred ancestral homeland by the Thao and Tsou indigenous peoples, climbing to the summit has been traditionally prohibited until the Japanese mountaineering team achieved the first ascent in 1927. One of the reasons Da Ba Jian Mountain attracts climbers is its awe-inspiring topographical landscape. Upon reaching the summit, one can witness the thick rock cones formed by the weathering of hard sandstone at Da Ba Jian and Xiao Ba Jian Mountains, a rare sight as they stand above horizontal rock layers. Moreover, as climbers ascend, they can observe various altitude-related vegetation zones, including broadleaf forests, coniferous forests, mixed forests of broadleaf and coniferous trees, and the coniferous forest zone. The pristine cypress forests, known as the ‘Mist Forest’, interweave with red cypress and Chinese arborvitae, adding to the enchanting scenery of Da Ba Jian Mountain. The rich variety of wildlife further makes Da Ba Jian Mountain a desirable destination for mountaineers. Shei-Pa National Park, with Snow Mountain and Da Ba Jian Mountain as its central focus, stretches from Luo Ye Wei Mountain in the east to Dong Xi Shui Mountain in the west, Yu Luo Wei Mountain in the south to Jing Jie Mountain in the north, covering an area of approximately 76,850 hectares and including Guan Wu Recreation Area, Xue Jian Recreation Area, and Wuling Recreation Area. The park is open all year round and is accessible 24/7.
