Welcome to these wonderful mountains of Taiwan! Taiwan has the largest number and density of high mountains in the world, with over 286 mountain summits over 3,000 metres (9,800 ft), with Yushan being the tallest mountain in both Taiwan and East Asia. Mountaineering is one of the most popular activities for many Taiwanese and tourists.

A list of 100 Peaks of Taiwan was created in 1971, which lists the one hundred mountains over 3,000 m for mountaineering on the island. Climbing all of the one hundred mountains listed is considered the greatest challenge for Taiwanese climbers.
