Mt. Jade Multi-Peak Trail (Part One)

Hello everyone, this is the second week I introduce Yushan National Park! Today, I would like to introduce Mt. Jade Multi-Peak Trail.

Mt. Jade Peaks Trail which starts from the Tataka Trailhead located Tataka saddle.

Tataka Trailhead(塔塔加登山口), an alpine watershed landscapes, is approximately 2610 meters at above sea. Standing on Tataka saddle, we can overlook Mt. Jade from the east, gazing afar Mt. Ali from the west. mountain watershed landscapes

After spending about thirty to forty minutes to walk to Menglu Gazebo(孟祿亭) from Tataka Trail Entrance. Menglu Gazebo, the junction of temperate forests and boreal forest, is really a wonderful terrace where climbers can stop to take a little break and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The top five highest mountain in Taiwan are all up to 3800 meters altitudes above and Mt. Jade Multi-Peak including four (except for Mt. Jade West Peak). And the other one is Mt. Xue(雪山) which is at about 3886 meters above sea level.

 Mt. Jade Front Peak(玉山前峰)

There are not too much hinterland on the top of Mt. Jade Front Peak. Steep and lean slopes covered with a lot of Yushan Nitida (玉山箭竹). On the southern mountain slope, there is full white wood forest landscape.

I’m sorry that today I can only make a really really simple introduction. In the coming weeks I will do a more thorough introduction. Thank for your reading and comments.
