The List of Taiwan's 100 High Mountains and How to Complete 100 Peaks

Posted by:  Anusha Lee
Published date: July 23, 2024
Taiwan's total land area is 36,197 km² (13,976 miles²), slightly larger than Belgium and the U.S. state of Maryland (Note 1). 70% of the country is covered by mountains and hills. Yet, there are 268 mountains (Note 2) over 3,000 meters of elevation, while there are no mountains over 3,000 meters above sea level in Australia and 403 peaks in greater North America (Note 3).

The highest mountain in Taiwan is Yushan, aka Jade Mountain, 3,952 meters above sea level.
You can find the list in English on the internet, but not many discuss how to group those high mountains, the routes, the difficulty level, etc., in English. I will introduce the 100 Peaks, the difficulty level, the number of hiking days, and the routes if you plan to bag all the peaks.
You will also find links to the blog posts about those routes I wrote.

Why Hike High Mountains in Taiwan?

Despite being a small tropical island, Taiwan boasts a remarkable range of climates—from tropical to subtropical to temperate—as you ascend its peaks. These high mountain hikes reward you with stunning scenery and a rich diversity of flora and fauna, making every trek a unique and unforgettable adventure.

Brief Introduction of Taiwan's 100 Peaks

Inspired by the book 100 Famous Mountains in Japan 日本百名山, written by Kyuya Fukada 深田久彌, the Taiwanese mountaineer Mt. Wenan Lin 林文安 was the first person who selected 100 mountains based on the following criteria:
  1. Mountains over 10,000 feet,
  2. Marked names on the map,
  3. Triangulation stones can be found on the summits.
After multiple explorations and consultations with experienced mountaineers, the list was finalized. Mt. Lin, 3 other important mountaineers during that time, Jingzhang Tsai 蔡景璋, Tianzheng Xing, 刑天正, Tongsan Ding 丁同三, and other hikers established 100 Peaks Club (Baiyue Club) 百岳俱樂部and celebrated its establishment at Mt. Yangtou on December 5, 1972.
Since then, bagging 100 peaks has become many hikers' passion and lifetime achievement.
Mt. Guanshanling
Hikers scaled up the steep slope on the way to Mt. Quanshanling.
The following routes are based on the prestigious map company, Sun River, and the permit application website from national parks in Taiwan. Sun River went out of business for good in March 2023, but they still keep the website live to help hikers explore the high mountains in Taiwan.

Sun River 上河文化 has been a major source for hikers in Taiwan.
The difficulty levels are referenced on the Yushan, Shei-Pa, and Taroko National Park websites. Some high mountains, such as Mt. Beidawu, are not located in any national park, and I found the difficulty rating from Hiking Note 健行筆記, the primary hiking resource in Taiwan.
Please note that there are different routes to hike the thru hikes mentioned in the list. If you are unsatisfied with those routes, please do your homework.
Generally speaking, if you plan to complete all of Taiwan's 100 Peaks, the least number of hikes to do is 25. You will hike some peaks twice. If you are an ultra-runner, it's a different story and beyond the scope of this post.

How Many People Have Completed the 100 Peaks?

I can't find the statistics about how many people have finished all the mountains. It is said that fewer than 1,000 people have bagged the 100 Peaks, and around 20 of them are foreigners.
To get some ideas about completing Taiwan's 100 Peaks, watch this video by Richard's Asia Hikepedia, The Fastest Foreigner to Complete Taiwan's 100 Peaks!
The difficulty rating system is from the Yushan National Park, with 1 being the easiest and 6 being the most difficult. I also put a screenshot here.
