List of mountains in Taiwan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taiwan is a mountainous island, and mountain climbing is a favorite activity of many Taiwanese people. A list of One Hundred Mountains Ranking (Chinese:百岳排行) was created in 1971, which listed the best mountains for climbing on the island. Climbing all one hundred mountains is the greatest challenge for Taiwanese climbers.
