Climbing Mount Yushan

The highest mountain of Taiwan

One of the biggest difficulties in hiking the Yushan is actually the process of getting a hiking permit. Around 30 days before the planned hike it is necessary to complete an extensive application (including pictures of hiking experience over 3000m, health condition, etc.) and then hoping to get one of the limited permits via a lottery. We were lucky on the second try and were allowed to climb the Yushan in the beginning of December.
