Layer for altitude changes
Temperatures swing between valley mornings and cool ridge afternoons; bring a warm midlayer and a light wind shell.
Wear grippy hiking shoes
Many trails include damp boardwalks and root-strewn sections—sturdy, treaded footwear reduces slips.
Carry local currency
Small vendors, optional hot-spring private rooms and craft stalls may not accept cards—bring NT$ for purchases.
Pace for motion and motion sickness
Road sections on the Northern Cross-Island Highway are winding; sit forward, focus on the horizon, and keep water available.
Waterproof hiking boots
Support and grip for wet boardwalks and uneven forest trails.
Light insulated jacket
Warmth for cool mornings and evenings at 1,500–2,100 m.
Rain shell
Frequent mountain showers make a breathable rain layer useful—useful in all seasons but essential in spring.
