Wuling is located within the Hehuanshan (Mt. Hehuan) Recreation Area under the jurisdiction of the Nantou Branch, Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency, as well as the recreation area of Taroko National Park. It is an important tourist destination in the Hehuanshan (Mt. Hehuan) area. During the snow season, Wuling is one of the most popular spots for snow viewing. Although there has been no continuous snowfall recently, the beautiful forest rime scenery has still attracted large numbers of domestic and international visitors.

As there is currently no snow accumulation along the roadside, the snow-covered rock wall at the Wuling parking area has become a popular photo spot. In order to take photos, some visitors have been climbing the rock wall to pose with the snow-covered forest. Such behavior is not only dangerous but also violates Article 13 of the National Park Act and the prohibited activities announced by Taroko National Park.

Taroko National Park Headquarters (hereinafter referred to as Taroko N. P. HQ), together with the Nantou Branch, Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency, and the Ninth Division, the Seventh Special Police Corps, National Police Agency, will strengthen public awareness efforts and law enforcement from now on. Any violations discovered will be penalized in accordance with the law.

To address the issue of unauthorized rock climbing, Taroko N. P. HQ has installed bilingual (Chinese and English) warning signs at the site and will conduct on-site patrols and advisories from time to time. Joint enforcement actions with the Ninth Division of the Seventh Special Police Corps will also be carried out.

While the snowy scenery of Hehuanshan (Mt. Hehuan) is captivating, Taroko N. P. HQ reminds visitors that for their own safety and the protection of the ecological environment, all visitors should demonstrate a high level of civic responsibility. Visitors are urged not to climb rock walls arbitrarily or engage in activities such as littering, camping, cooking, or setting off firecrackers or fireworks. Such improper behavior not only damages the natural environment and landscape but may also affect the living habits of wildlife.

If visitors are found engaging in the above activities in the Wuling area and the violation is verified, penalties will be imposed in accordance with the Forest Act, with fines ranging from NT$1,000 to NT$60,000, or in accordance with Article 13 of the National Park Act, with fines of up to NT$3,000.

Taroko N. P. HQ once again urges all visitors to follow the principles of Leave No Trace when visiting the mountains and to work together to protect our beautiful alpine environment.
