Mount Tao (Chinese: 桃山; pinyin: Tao Shān) is a 3,325-metre-high (10,909 ft) mountain located in the north of Wuling Farm and is one of the Snow Mountains group.[1] The mountain is ranked 44 on the Taiwan hiking declination scale; it borders Jianshi ridge, Hsinchu County, Taichung City and Heping District, and is marked with peakpoint label no. 6327. In the local Atayal language the mountain is known as "B'bu Qba", meaning "fist hill". In Chinese the name translates to "Peach" mountain, due to the view from the southwest side.
