Yushan Main Peak

Yu Shan or Yushan, Tongku Saveq, Mount Niitaka, and Mount Morrison before Japanese rule, is the highest mountain in Taiwan at 3,952??m (12,966??ft) above sea level, giving Taiwan the 4th-highest maximum elevation of any island in the world. It is the highest point in the western Pacific region outside of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Yushan and its surrounding mountains belong to the Yushan Range. The area was once in the ocean; it rose to its current height because of the Eurasian Plate's movement over the Philippine Sea Plate. Yushan is ranked 40th by topographic isolation.
