------

This is a 3 day (further days possible) traverse of Yushan. Instead of returning from the peak of Yushan on the original route, we descend into the valley to the NW, source of the Laonung stream, wild-camp near Batungguan alpine meadow (or stay in the slightly more distant Guangao shelter), and on the last day follow part of the, beautifully cut into steep mountain-sides, Batungguan trail to the Dongpu hot-spring resort. The latter part is the northern-most section of the ‘Southern Second Section Traverse’. This option is more demanding than the regular Yushan ascent/descent but is very much worth the effort!
