The complete guide to climbing Taiwan's highest peak - (Jade Mountain, 3952m) 爬台灣第一高峰 -玉山 

看很多人爬玉山的影片，您算是講解得最清楚，感謝！ 風景很美，你的女兒也很美。

真的很少RU-vidr會像你一樣，將所有相關資訊呈現出來，幫助所有想要分享的人～ 佩服你的胸襟也謝謝你對台灣的觀光發展的貢獻❤👍💪

Incredible way of experiencing the world. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this! Really soothing!

Cool. The path looks straight forward, but altitude sickness will still get you. I climbed Kota Kinabalu 4101m in 1992 when it was hardly known and it was HARD. I went back in 2000 and a path much the same as on Mt Jade had been constructed making it a lot easier but the altitude sickness still kicked in for me around 3700m. The 2nd attempt was even worse than the 1st. A German guy saved me he was a qualified mountain guide and eventually got me to the summit. When you are standing on the peak of a highest peak with nothing around higher it is an awesome feeling just like Mt Jade probably is. When I visited Taiwan in 2018 I wanted to climb it but just didn't have the knowledge of how to go about getting permits etc so your video is really helpful. Would love to re-visit Taiwan at some point and climb it. Many thanks for making. ATB.

Watching your video is a great way to spend Saturday afternoon. Peaceful and soothing.

You are not alone this time. Thank you for sharing the important information.

the sunset view is one of the million ❤

my husband climbed yushan in under a day. He started at 3am, reached the summit and descend before night falls. I hope 1 day when borders reopen, I can have a chance to go there!

Wow, this is a great film with high quality and description-the best one of all time. Thank you for sharing.

謝謝Richard, 你的玉山申請指南,介紹非常清楚,希望更多國際友人來台灣爬山 感謝美好的天候,玉山前鋒.主峰都出"大景",拍攝得非常美 衷心謝謝

非常棒的分享，登玉山是很特殊的回憶， 我們當初的行程是前一晚住在塔塔加的東埔山莊睡通舖， 隔天登山口走到排雲山莊一路上一直下雨很不方便， 幸好登頂時好天氣，下山沿途的風景真的很迷人

台灣真漂亮

Richard, nice to see you back after the xmas season. Nice hike !!! Good journey to bond with your daughter.

It's fascinating to hike through woods and greens and be greeted by white snow. Can't wait for your next video on hike packing.

Oh wow, I love the sunset view with the sea of cloud floating below. Very good one, Richard. 👍

As usual, an informative and enjoyable video. This hike is now on my list. I just have to persuade my wife to accompany me on it when we are back in Taiwan.

this format is so much better ,included the booking procedure , never interview your daughter about a first hike experience

Thank you,great video

感謝您！

The view on mountain is super beautiful

Thanks for sharing so much detail about hiking permit and the other detail about it. I would definitely pass it to my husband to check, so next time when we go hiking, I can ask him to apply permit instead of me being the one who apply all the time.

Thanks! I decided to do it and am confirmed for october. There is a LOT of administrative stuff though, starting with permit, getting the lottery lodge, etc. Or even transportation from Taoyun Airport to indigo hotel, etc. I will put more info and happy if someone can share their tips on the logistics!

Hi, I'm Taiwanese Jeff, like to watch your films. Welcome to Taiwan!

天氣好風景也很棒, 可惜這次沒出動空拍機 (如果帶上空拍機, 9:00 就不只呼吸變急促而已, 誇張一點可能導致高山症) 17:44 希望成功的喜悅能沖淡又冷又累的厭世表情 兩年前計畫的百岳拼圖正一塊一塊地找來 真棒 XD

Thanks Richard for this great video! Bright sunshine, clear blue sky and beautiful scenery! Thanks so much for also providing guidance on the planning, preparation and administration required to scale Yu Shan. Looking forward to the packing video! Simply awesome and fantastic! Over and Out! 😀 感謝李察精彩和有教育意義的影片！讓我們能看到美麗的風景，蔚藍的天空和攻頂的喜悅和興奮。而且你清楚仔細的說明了登上之前策劃，準備和登記事項，真的是超讚的！😀 期待你下個準備登山裝備的視屏。 感謝！😀

Great video! This is something I have not done yet, but have been wanting to do for years now. Thanks for all the information! 0:52 I don't think tourists frequent Hsinchu train station though, lol.

Thank you for this video. I am planning to do this hike in June. I really appreciate all of your work.

Speedy recovery and I hope you are fine and strong now... take care sir 😁

Very informative! Thanks.

You can actually do the whole hike in one day we skipped the side peaks though. Started hiking 3am or so

Come to Lombok .Mt Rinjani 3726m more hard than this Mount. But the beautiful scenery and Best seven summit in Indonesia

Accompanied by daughter climbing adventurous strenous mountain. Is there jade stone at the jade mountain. Tiring climb to such high mountain. So many mountain.

謝謝分享；福容量大，平安喜樂，順心如意！

1:28 the booking system was a reminisces of the martial law days(when they afraid of anti government or communist group hide in the mountains), when they got rid of the martial law, they found registration actually helps manage and control the number of visitors, and indirectly helps ecological management as well as emergency rescue, so they kept the system in some of the National Parks and mountains.

enjoyable watching it. Tks a lot.

Happy New Year 2022 , Richard

我預約報名過幾次，終於有一年好不容易被抽中卻遇到颱風😭😭😭

Thank you. Very informative

很棒、很詳細的登山分享，謝謝您~歡迎體驗臺灣-山巒的美

排雲的黃金雲海 是奇景 上下方的雲都透著黃金色 流光飛舞 爬四次才看到 要碰運氣了

that is very informative and detailed. Thanks alot for sharing!

Another good hike mate, was that your missus with you. She did good😁😁😁

Thank you so much for such an informative videos !

您來到原住民布農族的聖山，東谷沙飛！這是玉山的原名。

哇，很強喔!!

I love your videos Thank you for introducing Taiwan 😄 as a Taiwanese there are a lot things I didn't know

燃起我去爬玉山後五峯的動力！

That looks amazing. I took my son and had rain and thick cloud all the way up. I will need to return. Did you do this in December/January?

Hello Richard, thank you for the video! Unfortunately our Yushan application got rejected :( Any recommendations of hikes where we could see Yushan? Or any other must do hikes in Alishan?

I applied for permits to climb Jade midweek early (30 days before my hike) twice last fall and was rejected both times. I was on of the earliest applicants. I think the application system is based on a lottery, not on a first come first serve basis.

登玉山可以單攻不用住排雲山莊當天往返，請看「馮韋元 - 法國台客 登玉山」

Great hike Richard but way out of my league . Good you took the wifey for company even though she looked pooped :-)

What time do you have to arrive at the lodge by? We don’t know what time to leave in the morning from Alishan for our hike. Also, if we don’t reserve a meal, would we be able to cook on our own camping stove instead? Thank you!!!

Fantastic

Hi, I'm planning to stay at Alishan as recommended may I ask if there's a taxi or bus from alishan to Tataka Visitor center? what is the best time to arrive and start to trek at tataka visitor center? Thank you.

一個小小的問題,這個影片應該主要是給不是台灣人的外國人參考爬玉山的相關資料,如果影片名字加上玉山的英文名,會不會比較幫助搜尋呢? 除此之外,只能給這個影片一個讚了!

How do I book for staying overnight at Dongpu and food at Paiyun? What are the fees for food, sleeping bag and renting a bed?

What months did you go up? I got a slot in the start of March which is apparently still winter and apparently I may need crampons for potential ice/snow but now I'm wondering whether I should try and go up in April or May instead

Hello Richard! Wonder if you may know if possible to get any certification for summiting the mountain, am actually on a quest to collect as much summit certification as possible across Asia 😆

Almost 3 times the height of Ben Nevis 😯

Good video! I want to know how much was your budget

Hello..i am From Malaysia …i am going Travel Taiwan in month June..i would like climb Mountain Jade as well ..can i ask more Questions from you before i climb Mountain Jade？

Really cool and helpful video. When did you hike it? How are the weather conditions, and snow around the end of March, beginning of April? Thank you

Hi how would you compare the difficulty level of climbing Mt Jade vs Mt Kinabalu?

我前陣子去南澳的朝陽步道，有一個路段被封閉，因為虎頭蜂，我想到可能是你的虎頭蜂被叮咬事件。

讚👍

I thought you are hiking with your wife at first. And latter I realized that your were hiking with your daughter. Ha! Ha!

你真的很👍👍👍！

Is it safe? I wanna go there, but I’m worried of snakes

hi! want to know the bed space/room where to do the booking or just done it on spot? much appreciated !

i see theres a another permit needed to apply, could you clarified this ? Name ”Application for entering restricted mountain areas“

His opinion about this hike went from Easy>Challenging>Tough.

我比較好奇的是 像排雲山莊 以及 沿路的步道樓梯的建材 當初是怎麼運送上山的~!?? 太神奇

Is it required to get a local guide?

👏👍🙏💪

Do i need a Tour Guide to Climb Mountain Jade?

Hi, I'm fully watching. Good job. Keep in touch & remember to return thx. 👍

You aleady come back Taiwan?

回台灣居住了?

Level of difficulty for this hike ?

這次是跟女兒一起登山？ 沒找兒子嗎？

不好意思，請問您的夫人是臺灣人嗎？
