DISCLAIMER: Information in that website are for EXPERIENCED HIKERS. Rescue Officer told us that too many people go to the High Mountains with poor equipment, with poor physical fitness, with poor sense of direction etc.
Many hikers brag on their blog that they did it solo and easily.
Reality is: “it is not easy for 92% of the population to climb High Mountains in Taiwan!”
IF you are NOT an experienced hiker then our best advice for your own sake is to join a group tour with a company!
GO SOLO at YOUR OWN RISK!
It’s not very difficult to go Hiking Snow Mountain but you have to wake up very early to grab a parking space at the trailhead!
How to go to Xueshan from Taipei?
First of all, from Taipei, it takes more than 3 and a half hours by car to join Wuling Farm then 20 min to arrive at the trailhead.
It takes ONE DAY by public transportation from Taoyuan to Taipei to Yilan to Wuling Farm to Xueshan trailhead!
Do you want to hire a driver to save time?
