'Black' for the color of its rock, 'peril' should you be blown of it! Cilai is one of the more challenging mountains in Taiwan accounting for many of the deaths/injuries incurred by hikers on the island. Not really that bad, but not for those with vertigo issues...

The classic ridge walk sets of from near Hehuanshan Pass, which at 3275 meters is the highest road pass in east Asia. Four days hiking will take you over or near the peaks along the famous ridge and the meadows of Yushan cane. Exit is on the Nenggao cross-island trail near Lushan. Excellent expansive views, and the chances of spotting Sika deer are high.
