Bei Da-wu (3,092m) is the most southerly of the ‘top 100’ highest peaks. Rising apart from its neighbors in the central mountain ranges, views from the ridge and summit are excellent. Two days/one night is all that is needed for ascending and descending this holy mountain of both the Paiwan and Rukai tribes.

Day 1
Travel from Tainan (or other agreed-on pick-up point) via Taiwu Village in Pingtung County to the trailhead by van. Hike a couple hours to Juniper Lodge (2200m), and settle down for the night.

Day 2
Arise early, start climbing, hopefully in time for the sunrise at the ridge. Follow ridge past a Shinto shrine to the summit and enjoy! Make our way back to the trailhead and be in the city by evening.
