Guidelines for Application to Other Trails in Ecological Protection Areas
Modified Date: 2024/10/22
Released by Yushan National Park Headquarters
Other Trails refer to trails that are not well-established or planned. There are no warning/direction signs, safety facilities, nor accommodation. These trails are not regularly patrolled or inspected. It is strongly encouraged for hikers to make sure the hike is well-prepared, including but not limited to evaluating physical fitness, the ability to read the map, choose the trail, use gear that requires special techniques, and handle the possible dangers, as well as an emergency contact and back-up plan. It is not suggested to attempt to pass sections that are too dangerous or difficult to pass, safety first. Try to minimize your impact when hiking or camping. To protect the environment within these restricted areas, additional facilities will not be installed to meet the demand for hiking activities.
Application Time: 5 days to 2 months prior to the entry date
Eligibility: 1-12 people per group. (Group leader should be 18 or more than 18 years old) Members under 18 need to provide a parental application. Learn more about conditionally-opened route application:
