Eight Immortals Mountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Located in central Taiwan, Pa-hsien Mountain (八仙山 ba1 xian1 shan1), or Eight Immortals Mountain, is a branch of Yü Shan. Its height is 2448 metres, which is around 8000 Taiwanese metres (台尺). The pronunciation of eight thousand (baqian) and eight immortals are similar in Chinese, hence the name.
One of the three major logging stations in Taiwan used to be in the forest. There is an amusement park located on the part of the mountain that is located in Ho-p'ing Township (和平鄉 he2 ping2 xiang1), Taichung County. It is estimated that there are 59 native birds and 5 migratory birds.
