4) What is load limitation? What happens when the limit is reached?:
(1)The load limitation implemented by the park HQ refers to the limit on the numbers of visitors to certain areas every day. The park HQ implements visitor number control in accordance with subparagraph 10 of Article 8 of the National Park Act: “Ecological protection area: refers to the area where the natural biotic communities shall be stringently protected from development and shall be used only for scientific research.”The standard is set in accordance to the ecological fragility of each area and takes into account existing facilities and camping space in the area. The objective is not just to protect the fragile ecological environment; it’s also to maintain the quality of activities in each area.
For example:
The visitors limit for the Qilai mountain area is 40 people on an ordinary day and 60 at weekend/holiday time; Mt. Nanhu: 60 on an ordinary day and 100 at weekend and holiday times; Zhuilu Old Road: 60 ordinary time, 96 at weekend and holiday time. (The carrying capacity of visitors for Zhuilu Old Road will increase from August 10, 2014: 96 on ordinary time, 156 at weekend and holiday time.)
(2)There are 20 standby places on each route every day. When a route is fully booked the system will automatically register applicants as “standby”. If an already approved party cancels for that day and the number of free places is less than the number of people in the team on the standby list, the system will automatically contact the first standby team’s leader by text and email informing them that places are available; if the notified party does not take the places within two days they will offered to the next party on the standby list. The expired date of standby application will be according to the time limit for application for each route.
5) How do mountain cabin beds be allocated? Is there a standby list for beds?:
(1) To apply for a mountain cabin bed online, the applicant selects the relevant mountain cabin and the system will automatically allocate a bed in accordance with application time, reference number and approval situation.
(2) Bed standby: When the beds in each cabin are fully booked, every day the system will tell the applicant to take a tent with them. If beds become available because of cancellation by another team, the system will allocate the available beds to a team on the standby list in order of application time. Standby time ends one day before the date of team departure.
6)Do I need an ecological protection area entry permit to visit Mt. Hehuan?:
The Mt. Hehuan area including the main peak, west peak, north peak, east peak of Mt. Hehuan and Mt. Shimen are not in an ecological protection area so a permit is not needed (the north peak and west peak of Mt. Hehuan require that a mountain entry permit is obtained from a police unit in advance.)
7)Do I need an ecological protection area entry permit for Mt. Pingfeng?:
Mt. Pingfeng is not in an ecological protection area so a permit is not required; a mountain entry permit must be obtained from a police unit in advance, however.
