Hehuanshan Wuling Pass
14甲Renai Township to Xiulin
Taiwan’s road network tops out here: Wuling pass at 3,275 m, on the paved climb from Cingjing Farm over Hehuanshan to Dayuling. Alpine meadows, air that’s noticeably thin, and one of the only roads on the island that ever sees snow.
The Wushe branch of Highway 14 climbs from Cingjing Farm over Hehuanshan to Dayuling, reaching Wuling pass at 3275 metres, the highest point on Taiwan’s road network. The fully paved alpine route passes high-mountain meadows and is one of the few Taiwanese roads that sees winter snow. Mind the thin air, sudden fog and occasional ice near the pass.
