Yushan National Park
The mountains are now protected as the Yushan National Park. The national park is Taiwan's largest, highest and least accessible national park. It contains the largest tract of wilderness remaining in Taiwan and is also valued for its pristine forests and faunal diversity, including many endemic species. In 2009, Yushan was elected one of 28 finalists in the New7Wonders of Nature voting campaign; it had even held the top position in the “Mountains and Volcanoes” category on the list.
