Hiking the Highest Peak in Taiwan

A two-day Yushan trip with Curtis and Larry, published in 2023. The film follows the drive to the trailhead, the walk to Paiyun Lodge, and the next day’s summit. A closing discussion explains the reason for visiting Taiwan, the chosen route, the trip’s costs, the hiking companions, and how the video was made. The original film thanks Taiwan Pitch and points viewers to TaiwanPlus.
