Facts and practical information

The Alishan Range is a mountain range in the central-southern region of Taiwan. It is separated by the Qishan River from the Yushan Range, the tallest range in Taiwan on the east of the Alishan Range. The highest peak of the Alishan Range is Datashan, which has a height of 2,663 m. There is a famous Taiwanese song called "Alishan de Guniang" which is about a girl in the Alishan mountains. The name Ali Shan seems to be taken from the word "Alit", which in several Taiwanese indigenous languages means "ancestor mountain". ()
