Yakou

Yakou (pinyin: Yàkǒu), also known as Guanshan Pass (pinyin: Guānshān Yàkǒu) or Daguanshan Pass (pinyin: Dàguānshān Yàkǒu), is a mountain pass in Taiwan transversing the Central Mountain Range within Yushan National Park. The name Yakou literally means "mountain pass". At the peak, there is a short, one-way named the Daguanshan Tunnel, which is the highest tunnel in Taiwan. Administratively, it is located at the border of Taoyuan, Kaohsiung and Haiduan, Taitung. Yakou is known its frequent sea of clouds on the east side due to orographic lift from the Pacific Ocean. However, due to severe road collapses following Typhoon Morakot in 2009, Yakou is currently inaccessible by car. Occasionally, the character "" (yǎ) is used in place of since the latter is a rarely used character.
