Hualien Peaks and Mountain Huts

Hualien’s rugged interior is defined by the Central Mountain Range, home to some of Taiwan’s most iconic high-altitude peaks and technical hiking routes. This selection features the accessible ridges of Hehuanshan, the challenging 'Black Qilai' massif, and the sharp pyramid of Zhongyang Jianshan. Supporting these multi-day expeditions are essential shelters like the well-appointed Tianchi Cabin on the Nenggao Cross-Ridge Trail and remote huts along the Walami and Qilai trails, providing critical refuge in the alpine wilderness.
