A Hidden Gem with a great view from the top
My first experience was in 2013 when an Engineer wanted to go explore during the 100+ temperatures. We walked to the park from the hotel (Crown Plaza) then all the way to the top and back down again. Despite being uncomfortably hot and humid, we were energized by the thought of those efforts taken to build and later re-build the city wall. There are several historical sites along the way and thankfully, there were refreshment vendors along the route which allowed us to keep hydrated. In 2014 I repeated the route when I had other Engineers come to support our project. It was a shame that some wanted to hide in the hotel instead. Oh well, it was and is their loss. In 2015 I took my wife with me and after reaching the top of the wall we descended and ventured through the lower park where we found several tasty street foods

Nice walk, nice views
But don't go in the summer and make sure you know where you're being dropped off. Friends took the cable car, no air in Summer's awful heat. The walk was nice and there are people selling water along the climb.

A nice afternoon bike ride.
The best way to see Yushan is by bicycle. You can rent these all over the place in town, and the ride up is strenuous, but technically easy. The way down is mostly just coasting, and the views up the top are pretty good. Allow yourself about 2-3 hours for the round trip. If visiting in winter like we did, be sure to bring some drinking water and snacks, as there aren't many options for purchasing either up on the mountain.
