TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Yushan National Park is inviting the public to take an online tour of the landscape of the highest mountain in Taiwan, Yushan.

At 3,952 meters, Yushan (Jade Mountain) boasts a plethora of flora and fauna. Animals in the national park have enjoyed an unexpected life of tranquility without human intrusion since the park’s closure amid COVID-19 lockdowns.
