Taiwan is the island with the most mountains in the world.
About 70% of the area is mountainous, with 268 peaks over 3,000 meters. In the folds of the plate extrusion, there is beautiful scenery that most of the people living on the remaining 30% of the land have never seen before.
NTPU Mt. Club, as one of the earliest clubs established in the school, has abundant resources accumulated over the years. In addition to rich and professional social classes, there is also complete mountaineering equipment for members to use. Each team will be reviewed by experienced seniors to ensure safety. In addition, the activities are not limited to mountain climbing, but also include outdoor activities such as river trekking and rock climbing.
Base on both feet, we went to the mountains and forests of Taiwan together.
Mountain peaks gleaming in the distant sunlight; valleys where the sound of water flows; historical relics hidden in forests; bright night sky without light interference; rising sun on the sea of clouds. Taiwan is not small, there are many places we have not been to, and scenery we have not seen. For us, every time we go up the mountain, the small island of Taiwan that we know becomes a little bigger.
#Mountain hiking
The NTPU Mt. Club has an average of three to four times a semester, and the members of the club with the qualifications of guide or team leader choose the route and plan. It will be reviewed by experienced seniors and instructors to ensure the smooth and safe journey of the team.

Knowledge is power, learn how to live in the mountains at NTPU Mt. Club.
The paths in the mountains are not predetermined, but only those with knowledge can freely master their own paths. Many graduating seniors said that the four years spent in the mountaineering club are like the second major or minor, and there are many places to learn and accumulate experience.
#social class
The knowledge and technology of the mountaineering club are mainly passed on one session at a time, and the club classes are offered by experienced seniors, graduate
alumni, and instructors in the club. The content ranges from basic to advanced, and the purpose is to let members learn to be independent in the mountains. In addition to practical social lessons, there are also lectures related to mountaineering literature and history, such as the history of ancient trails, sharing of overseas climbing experiences, etc., to expand members' imagination of mountaineering activities.
In principle, all social lessons are open to non-members free of charge, and if there have a limited number of participants, members will have priority.
#guide training
One of the important activities of the mountaineering club is the long-day procession held for winter and summer vacations. Compared with the teams that are open during the school period, the guides and more experienced members of the community are mainly involved. They can practice and practice the knowledge they have learned on weekdays and accumulate experience in mountaineering.
In addition to mountain climbing, members will also gather at the social office located in the basement of the business school to hang out. There are also routine social gatherings every semester.
#welcoming tea party
There will be a more detailed and in-depth introduction to the NTPU Mt. Club as a whole at the welcome tea party, and many graduates will come back to share their experiences in the mountaineering club. All students are welcome to participate, come to chat with cadres and seniors, and learn about the activity mode of the mountaineering club and the harvest in the mountains.
#social gathering
Every year around Christmas, it is held at the foot of the mountain, where members gather to eat, drink, and drink.
#farewell
Before the graduation season, reviewing the activities of the mountaineering club for one year, sending off the seniors, and selecting new cadres, other than that, it is no different from the social gathering.
