Mountain climbing has always been very popular in Taiwan. The Forestry Bureau and the Alpine Association have built quite a few shelters in the high mountains but because they gave no consideration to climate some shelters could not withstand heavy snow and very quickly collapsed or, because their location was not right, were destroyed by powerful winds along the ridges.
台灣登山活動一向盛行，林務局和山岳協會在高山蓋了相當多的山屋，卻因沒有考量氣候，有些山屋禁不起積雪的重量很快就被壓垮，或因位置不對，遭臨著稜線襲來的強風吹壞，如今所剩無幾。
