Yushan National Park

Chiayi County, Taiwan · built 1985

Yushan National Park (pinyin: Yù Shān Gúojiā Gōngyuán) is one of the nine national parks in Taiwan and was named after the summit Yushan, the highest peak of the park. The park covers a total area of 103,121 hectares that includes large sections of the Central Mountain Range. The park contains more than thirty peaks over 3,000 metres (9, 843 ft) in elevation, and two-thirds of the area within the park is above 2,000 metres (6, 562 ft). The elevation difference in the park is 3,600 metres (11, 811 ft), and there are many canyons, cliffs, and valleys. Because of its remote location and entry control, Yushan National Park is not among the most visited national parks in Taiwan. Even so, the park attracted 1,044,994 visitors in 2015. For its flora and fauna, it is considered a potential World Heritage Site.
