Threre are three important mountain birding sites for endemic birds in Taiwan: Dasyueshan, Yushan NP/Alishan and Hehuanshan. In a short trip, we can only visit Dasyueshan. With more time, we can visit one more area to make up the endemic species we miss. In long trip, we would visit all of them to secure every endemic birds and any potential lifers.
