Shei-Pa National Park’s Snow Sword Trail / 雪劍線
In October 2020, Team Imagine took on the rugged Snow Sword trail in Shei-Pa National Park, Taiwan, a challenging route that starts from the summit of Snow Mountain (3886m), Taiwan’s second-highest peak. Over five days, we summited four of Taiwan’s famous “100 Peaks” (Baiyue) while navigating steep ridgelines, technical rope sections, and encountering wildlife like Sambar deer and Formosan Macaques. Our adventure took us to exposed peaks like Dajianshan (3,594m), where we braved thunderstorms and camped under the stars at Cui Pond (3,520m). This remote hike demanded careful planning, resilience, and respect for Taiwan’s mountainous wilderness.
