Conquer the Roof of Taiwan: The Ultimate Guide to Mt. Jade (Yushan) Priority Permits for Foreigners

Standing at 3,952 meters, Mt. Jade (Yushan) is not just the highest peak in Taiwan; it is the "Roof of Northeast Asia." For every adventurer visiting Taiwan, standing on this iconic summit to witness the sea of clouds is a top bucket-list item.

However, there is a catch: The Permit. With thousands of hikers applying daily, the lottery for the Paiyun Lodge (the only cabin near the summit) is notoriously difficult to win.

But here is the good news for international travelers: You have a "Fast Pass."

The "International Priority Quota": How to Skip the Lottery

The Yushan National Park Administration allocates a specific number of slots for non-Taiwanese passport holders on weekdays (Sunday to Thursday).

• Application Window: You must apply 120 to 150 days in advance.
• Strategic Planning: At Wilds (好野人), we strategically plan your application within this priority window to ensure your dream of summiting becomes a reality.
