No. 27 of Taiwan 100 Peaks.

Together, Daba and Xiaba form a majestic ridge.

Daba Jian Shan is located between Miaoli and Hsinchu County. The elevation of the mountain is 3492 meters.

Regarded to the trail to the Daba Jian Shan, ...

"Owing to the well-known Dabajian Mountain, Daba Peaks Trail becomes the most popular and famous mountain trail. That the beds in Jiujiu Hut (99 Hut) are always reserved in consecutive holidays proves how popular this trail is. 

Lying in the north, Daba Peaks is a big branch of Xue Mountain Range, diverging from Buxiulan Mountain. This ridge radiates from Dabajian Mountain as the axis and forms 4 trails in 4 directions. On the east is Dongbajian Mountain Trail consisting of 5 peaks and overhanging cliffs; on the west is Xiaobajian Mountain Trail with precipitous crags and singular peak; on the north is Mayang Mountain Trail covering Takejin Creek and Sakeyajin Creek as the major mountain area in Jianshih Township of Hsinchu County that breeds Atayal people there; on the northwest is Yizhe Mountain Trail, the major one of Daba Peaks, which includes 5 over-3,000-meter mountains: Jiali Mountain (3,112), Yeba-ao Mountain (3,192), Yizhe Mountain (3,297), and Jhongbajian Mountain (3,392). Daba Peaks Trail needs climbers to stride across those mountains in order to reach the base of majestic Dabajian Mountain. 

First climbed by people in 1927, Dabajian Mountain signifies a sacred mountain fascinating mountaineers all the time. Especially after Trailhead of Madara Creek was set up, more and more climbers and mountaineering teams flood in. Visiting this area takes 3 days on average."
