Lishan, Taiwan

Displayed:   times.

Located on the upper reaches of the Dajia River, Lishan sits in the middle of the Central Cross-Island Highway. It neighbors the Shei-Pa and Taroko National Parks. Transportation links provide access to Taichung in the west (although this part of the cross-island highway is currently cut off), Ilan in the north, and Hualien in the east. To the south, via Dayuling and Mt. Hehuan, lie Wushe and Nantou. In short, Lishan is a hub connecting the east and west, north and south in central Taiwan. Within the area are spectacular views of the miracles of nature: highlands, steep cliffs, deep canyons, rivers, and forests. This scenic area also offers hot springs, alpine fruits and vegetables, other local products, and Atayal aborigine culture waiting to be discovered.
