00:00If you're already on the top of the mountain in the Philippines, why not go hiking abroad?

00:12Like the highest point of Taiwan.

00:14Let's go there with Ian Cruz.

00:20Let's level up the mountain.

00:23Let's hike abroad Jade Mountain or in Chinese, Yushan.

00:28It's the highest mountain in Taiwan.

00:31If you want to climb it, you have to walk more than 1,000 meters.

00:36It's called Mt. Apok.

00:39But Matthew didn't make it up.

00:41The most challenging part of hiking is watching the cold.

00:47It's still a different feeling when it's negative 2 degrees Celsius.

00:52I think I wore 4 layers and it still wasn't enough to make me comfortable.

00:57It's a 2-day hike.

00:59The trek from the jump-off to the mountain lodge or resting place is 8 hours.

01:04And another 3 hours to reach the highest point.

01:09The view is breathtaking.

01:11It's like you're in your imagination and you feel like you've reached it.

01:17This is my first international hike.

01:19And for me, I'm very emotional on the summit.

01:22You can see the layers of mountains.

01:24It's like a painting.

01:26So for those who are looking for a place to start their mountain journey abroad,

01:32Yushan can be on the list.

01:35It doesn't have to be scary as long as you're prepared.

01:38And now after that hike, I'm excited to go on an international hike again.
