But sometimes, venturing into the mountains requires more than just enthusiasm. The Ministry of Sports recently launched a hiking trends forum and immersive survival skills exhibition at the National Taiwan Science Education Center. Fu Chao-hsuan, a high jumper who won gold at this year’s Asian Games, along with veteran climber Huang Wen-chen came to try out one of the event’s challenges. As he pulls down hard on the rope, high jumper Fu Chao-hsuan’s partner on the other end rises up into the air. But the Asian Games gold medalist isn’t jumping today. Instead, he’s trying out a wilderness survival challenge. About 70% of Taiwan is mountainous, boasting stunning peaks, pristine waters, and beautiful landscapes. This abundant environment makes hiking accessible to everyone. But it’s not enough to rely on enthusiasm alone. Sometimes, having thorough knowledge of safety is far more important. Fang Jui-wen Sports for All Administration director-general Since the Sports for All Administration was founded on Sept. 9 last year, we have been promoting information related to mountaineering. With this immersive exhibition, we hope the multi-sensory experiences can help teach the public firsthand how to prepare if they’re planning a trip into the mountains, and what to do if they encounter any difficulties. Hosted by the Ministry of Sports, this international hiking trends forum and immersive mountain life exhibition opened recently at the National Taiwan Science Education Center. There are many activities simulating mountain survival challenges, disaster rescue, and life skills that you can try, giving visitors a fun way to learn what to do while out in the wilderness. Fang Jui-wen Sports for All Administration director-general This immersive mountaineering exhibition and international hiking trends forum will be held throughout the month. We hope to get perspectives from other countries and other fields to make mountaineering safer here in Taiwan. Conditions can change in an instant when you’re in the mountains. Only by having proper safety knowledge can hikers properly judge risk and know how to respond. With a little preparation, hikers can mitigate disaster in critical moments to ensure that every mountain adventure ends in a safe return home.
