There are 268 mountain peaks over 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) above sea level on the island, with Yushan (Jade Mountain – in Chinese) being the tallest mountain in both Taiwan and East Asia. Mountaineering is one of the most popular activities for many Taiwanese.

Climbing all of the one hundred mountain peaks listed is considered a great challenge for Taiwanese climbers.
