Hehuanshan: Pristine white magic

Bits and pieces:

Driving is probably the best way to reach Hehuanshan as there is no direct bus route, unless you book one of the tour company buses. The Hehuanshan Mountain Road can be accessed from Hulien via the famous Toroko Gorge, but we found it easier to go via Puli (埔里).

Take National Highway No. 1, exit at Wangtien exchange and then drive along Provincial Road No. 14. From Chaotun take the 14 A (signposted as Provincial Road No. 14 Jia), drive across Puli, then drive past Wushe (霧社) and Chingjing Farm to reach the base of Hehuanshan. From there it’s just one winding road surging up, up and up.

There is one accommodation option at Wuling, but it often remains closed in winter, so it is advisable to stay near Chingjing farm or at Wushe, where the choices are more plentiful and can suit for every pocket.
