(2) Yushan National Park (YSNP)

Located in the center of Taiwan, Yushan National Park (YSNP), with its abundant natural re-
sources, is considered a prime destination for hiking, eco-tourism, and environmental education.

In terms of management in 2022, YSNP accomplished the Fourth Comprehensive Evaluation
of Yushan National Park Plan. In addition, YSNP was awarded the “2022 Annual TGOS Circulation

Service Award” by the Ministry of the Interior and the “19th Records Management Quality Award”
by the National Archives Administration of the National Development Council.

Regarding ecological conservation, YSNP has commissioned studies on groups of Formosan
black bears, made a documentary and written a popular science book about raptors, and promot-
ed the scientific research base and citizen scientist project to make Yushan National Park one of

the largest outdoor classrooms.

In terms of interpretation and environmental education, YSNP launched an on-site Formosan
black bears conservation interpretation plan, held environmental educational activities such as
Youth Camp and 3-Generation Family Travel in National Parks, and started to plan the refurbish-

ment of the exhibition room of Meishan Visitor Center to enhance the service quality.

As for hiking safety and service, YSNP has completed several renovations projects, including
repairing the Yushan Trail and accessible trails in the Tataka area, to enhance the service to visi-
tors of all age groups. In addition, a new service center, “Dongpu Information Center,” opened its

door on the northwestern side of the park to provide exhibitions, guiding, and consulting services
to improve the service to visitors and local residents.

In 2023, YSNP will continue the project of construction and renovation of the cabins and trails
in the park and the studies on high-attitude ecology. To maximize a national park’s role, YSNP will
keep strengthening the relationship with the tribes surrounding the park and improving the hiking

safety and services.
