Hehuan Main Peak
合歡主峰
A 3,417-meter Hundred Peak. The broad former military service road takes about an hour to the summit, making it the easiest introductory Hundred Peak.
Hehuan Main Peak rises to 3,417 meters and is one of Taiwan, China's Hundred Peaks. The trailhead lies about 500 meters north of Wuling, near Xiaofeng Gap. The trail follows a former military service road with gentle slopes and a wide surface. It is about 2 km one way and takes about 1 to 1.5 hours uphill. Along the way you can look back toward Wuling and Hehuan East Peak, and on clear days you can see the Chilai Range, the Snow Mountain Range, and the direction of Yushan. The summit has the facilities of a former military radar station (now a weather station) and a survey triangulation point. It suits first-time high-mountain hikers, and climbing in the early morning or morning avoids afternoon clouds. Admission is free, and no mountain permit is required. Note: the altitude is high and UV is strong, so bring sunscreen, warm clothing, and water. After snowfall, the path ices over in winter, so bring crampons and trekking poles. Anyone prone to altitude sickness should go slowly.
