  • A new mountain hut, Xinqilai Mountain House, with 40 beds will begin trial operations in August.

  • The new hut replaces an older one that had been in use for over 30 years and suffered from outdated facilities.

The Xinqilai Mountain House, a new facility designed to accommodate hikers, is set to open for trial operations in August. Located in the Taroko National Park area, the mountain house boasts 40 beds and will transition to a reservation and fee-based system after its initial trial period.

The construction of the new facility comes as a much-needed replacement for the aging Qiilai Ridge Mountain House, which had been serving hikers for over three decades. The old hut's facilities were reportedly outdated, prompting the need for an upgrade to better serve the popular hiking routes in the region.

The Qiilai mountain range is known for its steep terrain and unpredictable weather, making it a challenging yet popular destination for trekkers. The completion and upcoming opening of the Xinqilai Mountain House are expected to improve the experience and safety for those venturing into this demanding natural landscape.
