You might have heard of a list of the 100 iconic peaks soaring over 3,000 meters in Taiwan, and many local enthusiasts spend their whole lives trying to climb over every one of them. Known to be the easiest one to climb among them, Shimenshan is suitable for people of all experience levels.

The entrance to Shimenshan is within a twenty-minute walk of Song Syue Lodge (松雪樓). Even with an altitude of 3,237 meters, Shimenshan can be easily explored without special hiking equipment. If in good health, everyone could reach the summit in forty minutes. It is a place worth visiting all year round, but not on a foggy day. Many hikers come for the beautiful sunrise. During the day, the visibility can be up to 30 kilometers where high ridges are spotted from far off. Before sunset, you might even see a vast sea of clouds spreading out right before you. When the night fall, Shimenshan draws in a significant number of stargazers and photography enthusiasts who hope to capture the awe-inspiring enchantment of the starry night sky in motion.

Notice:

For those who come for the sunrise, be sure to bring warm clothing and a flashlight.

If you plan to drive here, please turn off your headlamps when arriving at the parking lot. A bit of light pollution will ruin the night of those who hope to capture the motion of stars.

The entrance is located at the 33.5km mark of Highway 14.

Notice

  • If you come here for sunrise, rembmer to wear enough cloths and bring a flashlight.
  • If you want to drive here at night, please turn off your headlight when you are parking. Headlight may ruin a good star trail photo which a photographer waits for a whole night in front of the mountain.
  • Entrance:
    Located at 33.5km on Highway 14.
