Jade Mountain consists of 11 mountain peaks with the highest, the Main Peak standing at 3952 meters.  Other peaks include 4  South Peaks, North Peak, North North Peak, West Peak, Front Peak and East Peak.  All of these peaks are over 3,000 meters and are part of Taiwan's 100 mountain list.
   
     Mt. Jade receives its name due to the fact that during the winter season, Jade Peak is often  snow capped with thick snow which makes the entire peak shine like stainless jade.

     Jade Mountain is a moderately difficult trek. It isn't very steep except for the final ascent. The total elevation climb goes from 2,600 meters at the Tatajia Saddle to 3,952 meters at the peak. The distance is 8.2 kilometers to the Paiyun Lodge and then an additional 1.2 kilometers to the peak. The trail is very well laid, out, mostly gradual, and easy to walk on. This is a major reason why many Taiwanese and visitors are able to make it to the peak regardless of their hiking experience.
 
     Hikers need 2 permits to enter and climb any mountain in Yu Shan National Park. One permit is the mountain permit from the Yu Shan National Park office and the other permit is from the local police station.  Both checkpoints for each permit are at the entrance to the park at the Tatajia Saddle.

    Weekdays have fewer applicants.If you have a foreign passport, you may have a better chance of getting a bed. The park sets aside 24 spots for foreign passports from Mondays to Thursdays. You can apply 4 months in advance but decisions are made (by lottery) 30 days beforehand.
