★ Hiking High Mountain in Taiwan with 523: 2013/5/22 (Wed.) ~5/26 (Sun.) Nanhu Mountain~ Flower Season（南湖大山花季）

★ Deadline to register：2013/4/19 (Friday) or when fully booked (Limited: 10 persons) 

Nanhu Mountain is 3,742 meters high and the highest peak in the Central Mountain Range. It is also one of the Five Mountains of Taiwan.
Its most well-known characteristic is the cirque, which is circled by two ridges, one reaching from the north peak to the northeast peak and the other from the east peak to the summit. It is generally believed to be a cirque left over from the last ice age.

In Nanhu, flora mainly includes alpine tundra ecosystems and coniferous forest ecosystems. Unique plants commonly seen here are Juniperus squamata, alpine azalea, and hemlock. Old growth forests cover most of this area, making an ideal living environment for mammals. As a result, a wide variety of mammals live in the area between Nanhu Mountain and Central Range Point, including Formosan rock monkeys, muntjacs, white-headed flying squirrels, alpine accentors, and Formosan laughing thrushes.

In late May, flowers bloom everywhere in Nanhu Mountain. Let’s go to enjoy the most beautiful flower season in Taiwan’s High Montains!

每個愛山之人終將拜訪的山林殿堂
山岳界所稱的中央山脈北一段，指的就是南湖中央尖，位處宜蘭、台中、花蓮交界，屬於太魯閣國家公園的轄區內。
其中南湖大山，，是台灣山岳五嶽中之北嶽，也是中央山脈北段的盟主。其基座寬廣，山容厚實穩重，山頂開闊，氣勢雄偉磅礡，不論遠觀近望，都會令人莊嚴以待，素來享有「帝王之相」的尊稱。南湖之美，是一種發自內心的讚嘆，從登山口開始至審馬陣山為森林景觀，審馬陣山至南湖北山為草坡景觀，南湖北山至南湖北峰是危崖崩壁之險，南湖大山及東峰則為圈谷之極品，在在都是壯麗無比，處處令人驚呼動容，一趟南湖大山之行，必定讓你永生難忘。
南湖群峰除了高傲的山群，會讓登山客難以忘懷的就是南湖圈谷上的冰河遺跡了，山高谷寬成就了一番大山大水的氣勢，站在峰頂稜尖俯瞰這美麗的谷迴山合，更是令人無法忘懷，有人說，巍巍玉山是生長在這片土地上的每一個人，有機會都應該登臨朝拜的聖山。那麼南湖大山則應該是愛山人，一生中一定要去見識的山岳殿堂。
