Jade Mountain

  • 1857: W. Morrison, captain of the American freighter Alexander, sighted this mountain while departing from Anping Harbor, in what is now Anping, Tainan (Anpeeng Khw). His log was the first western mention of the mountain.
  • 1900: two Japanese anthropologists became the first people recorded to summit the mountain. They gave the mountain the name Niitakayama (新高山) or Mount Niitaka, literally the "New High Mountain". Surveyed 176 m higher than Mount Fuji.
