Dabajianshan Trek: High Alpine Peaks & Prairie — 3 Days

Two nights at 99 Mountain Cabin in Shei-Pa National Park, summiting three peaks above 3,000 meters

This three-day trek moves through Shei-Pa National Park, one of Taiwan's most consequential alpine reserves. From Taipei, you travel by private transportation and bicycle into the park's interior, settling at 99 Mountain Cabin—a working mountain lodge where guides, meals, and sleeping equipment are provided. The route covers roughly 40 kilometers on foot across two days, including a pre-dawn ascent to Dabajianshan itself, where sunrise breaks over the Zhongba Prairie, an extensive alpine grassland that defines the park's upper reaches. The return follows the same forest road and bike route to Taipei, making this trek accessible to experienced hikers who lack their own high-altitude equipment.

Highlights

  • Sunrise over Zhongba Prairie from Dabajianshan
  • Summit three peaks in Taiwan's Top 100 Mountains during a single day
  • Overnight accommodation at 99 Mountain Cabin with meals and sleeping bag rentals included
  • 19-kilometer forest road by bicycle through central Taiwan's mountain approaches
  • 40+ kilometers of alpine trekking around 3,000 meters elevation in Shei-Pa National Park
