Jade Mountain Main Peak route is a popular hiking track, but there are limited spaces available in the Paiyun Mountain Lodge, and it can be difficult to obtain one through the lot system: anyone wanting to climb up to the peak needs a bit of luck on their side. In order to make it easy for people to get more acquainted with the terrain in the Yushan National Park, the administrative office has put a 3D map app of the area, available for download, on its official Web site. When the app is downloaded and opened, it is possible to browse the area’s topography, and even use a special feature to virtually traverse the terrain, from the trailhead all the way up to the main peak. Following the lines of the changes in the terrain allows hikers to carry out a little readiness training before they set off, to ensure that they can hike up safely.
According to the office, since the mountain was opened up to the public, many people have wanted to try their hand at ascending it, but mountain climbing can be dangerous. The Jade Mountain 3D map uses aerial radar imaging to map out the direction and altitude changes of the hiking tracks in the mountains, and to record the various features and facilities along the way, including the trailheads and the Paiyun Mountain Lodge.
Going along the Jade Mountain Main Peak route, up from the trailhead to the Paiyun Mountain Lodge, you can see the Daciaobi (Great Precipice) just past the 7km mark, with the lodge appearing at the 8.5km mark. If you proceed west from here there is the Jade Mountain West Peak, and hiking another 2.4km up over a series of switchbacks, you will arrive at the Jade Mountain Main Peak.

Using the Jade Mountain 3D map, avid hikers will be able to find out the actual trail conditions before they set off on their trip. The resource is also available to anyone to go online and have at their fingertips the ability to virtually experience the mountain. They can also browse through the “720-degree panoramic view” and enjoy 16 scenic spots in the park, including the trailhead, to get a feel for the scenery. In the future, this system will also be applied to the conservation of wild animals and forests and to the management of the national park. Not only will it make information about the area readily available, it will also facilitate more efficient management of the area.

玉管處表示，隨著山林開放，許多民眾都想嘗試登山，但可能因對山區環境的不熟悉，貿然登山容易發生危險，因此推出「玉山3D圖台」，該系統透過空中雷達攝影，建立山區山脈走向與起伏，就連沿途相關設施也有記錄，例如玉山登山口、玉山排雲山莊等。
其中就蒐羅玉山主峰線，從登山口一路到排雲山莊，在七公里多可見大峭壁，在八．五公里則是排雲山莊，往西走就是玉山西峰，往山區陡上二．四公里，經過之字形路線，就是玉山主峰頂。
山友透過玉山3D圖台，不只能在登山前先行了解現場實境，一般民眾也能藉此資源，上網動動手指，就能虛擬體驗玉山，還能開啟遊憩資訊「720度環景影像」圖層，欣賞玉山登山口等園區十六處景點，認識現場實地影像，未來這套系統也會結合野生動物、森林保育，以及國家公園經營管理，除讓山林資訊更容易取得，也能提升管理效率。

Skating is a popular recreational and competitive activity that involves sliding over surfaces using specially designed footwear. Its origins date back over 1,000 years to Northern Europe, where people first strapped animal bones to their feet to move across frozen lakes and rivers. In the 17th century, the Dutch transformed skating into a leisure activity. They also replaced bone blades with metal, leading to the creation of modern ice skates. Today, ice skating is enjoyed as a global sport and an exciting pastime by people of all ages. Figure skating is one of the best-known and most graceful forms of skating.
