As
you may notice, Taiwan is mainly covered with lush evergreen mountains
that provide great pleasures to lovers of mountain climbing. Two ideal
climbs are the peak of Yu Shan (Jade Mountain), which is the highest in
Taiwan at 3,952m (12,966ft) and the Snow Mountain, Taiwan's second highest
at 3,884m (12,743ft).
Skiing
is available during the months of January and February when enough snow
falls on the slopes of Hohuan (Harmonious Happiness Mountains). Hotels,
ski facilities, and proper transportation are available up on Hohuan Mountain.
