Located in the central range of the mountains to the west of Heping Township in Taichung County, there are peaks such as A-yu Mountain, Da-ba Peak, Xueshan, Pin Tian Mountain, Chi-yu Mountain, and Tao Mountain, encompassing tropical, temperate, and cold climate primary forests. The main peak, Xueshan, stands at an elevation of 3,886 meters, making it the second-highest peak in Taiwan. Due to the snow reflecting sunlight and appearing as white as jade, it is named ‘Xueshan’. Every November, when the cold front first arrives, snowflakes can be seen dancing on the mountaintop. In the depths of winter, the ice is thick and the snow is abundant. Within the mountain gullies and cliffs, there are a series of icicles resembling inverted swords and halberds, sharp and bright, exuding a piercing and majestic presence. On the north side of the Xueshan summit, there is a giant cirque about 1,000 meters long and 600 meters wide. In winter, the cirque is filled with snow, which looks like intricately carved silver and jade from a distance, making it a spectacular sight and a unique feature of Xueshan. The mountain is open all year round and accessible 24 hours a day.
