Hiking in Taiwan Across Peaks and Gorges

5 Hikes


"Taiwan enchants hikers with majestic peaks, serene gorges, mystical forests, and vibrant tea plantations."

Hiking in Taiwan is all about sharp elevation, deep marble canyons, and cloud-cut ridgelines. From Taroko Gorge and the Qilai peaks in Hualien to Yushan in the Central Mountain Range and the forest routes around Alishan, the island packs serious mountain terrain into short distances. Taiwan suits hikers who want dramatic ascents, alpine views, and trails that shift quickly from subtropical woods to high, exposed summits.
