Hehuan Mountain (Hehuanshan), Taiwan: Tourist Attraction

Hehuan Mountain (Hehuanshan) is one of the few places in Taiwan which receives snow in winter time. In the past a ski-lift was provided on the mountain, but the inconsistency of the snow fall caused it to be abandoned.

Hehuan Mountain (Hehuanshan) has been provided with the Hehuanshan Road which runs up to Wuling, which is the highest point in Taiwan that public roads can reach. After the road ends, there is a kilometer long trail that leads up to the top of the main peak.

During wintertime Hehuan Mountain (Hehuanshan) becomes freezing cold under thick coats of snow and suddenly the once lofty and aloof mountain transforms into a benign old being welcoming all. Hehuan Mountain (Hehuanshan) has the only snow resort in Taiwan.

The scenery from Hehuan Mountain (Hehuanshan) outdoes all else in Taiwan. The area remains heavily forested, with verdant meadows and awe inspiring outgrowth of dark rocks.
