In order to promote mountaineering activities, the Baiyue Club, organized in 1970 during the Mountain Association of the Taiwan Sports Association, began to come up with the idea of ​​selecting Taiwan's Baiyue. Mr. Lin Wen'an started the planning, and after the completion of the longitudinal walk in the Central Mountains in 1971, he and Cai Jingzhang, Xing Tianzheng, Ding Tongshan and other mountain elders finally finalized the plan after several consultations.
The selection of Taiwan's Hundred Mountains is based on the selection criteria of peaks with an altitude of 10,000 feet or more than 3,000 meters, with strange, dangerous, steep, beautiful, and obvious undulating mountains. Those with mountain names and triangular points on the map will be given priority. I hope to use them. This has led to the mountain climbing trend in Taiwan’s mountains. In the final list of Taiwan's Hundred Mountains, the Central Mountain Range, the first of Taiwan's five major mountain ranges, has 69 mountains, the Snow Mountain Mountain Range has 19 mountains, the Yushan Mountains has 12 mountains, and the Alishan Mountains and Coastal Mountains are both insufficient in height. Three thousand meters and no peaks were selected.
