He says Yushan's majestic beauty is a world-class sight, and points out that not only is it the tallest mountain in East Asia, it is also a sacred site for the Bunun people. The Japanese respectfully called it Niitakayama, "the New High Mountain," as it is even higher than Japan's Mt. Fuji. It is also the source of the larger rivers in central Taiwan.
他表示，玉山的壯闊秀麗舉世罕見，它既是台灣及東亞第一高峰、布農族的「聖山」、日本殖民者崇敬的「新高山」，也是台灣中部各大河川的發源地。
