Wuling 武嶺，舊名/日語：佐久間峠 Sakuma tōge or 南嶺，為台灣中央山脈北段高峰合歡東峰、合歡主峰間嶺線的鞍部，海拔3,275公尺，是台灣公路最高點，位於台14甲線31.5公里處，在太魯閣國家公園西境，為合歡山森林遊樂區一處景點，行政區劃屬南投縣仁愛鄉大同村。

在武嶺建有一座觀景台，供遊客眺望遠近風景。由於地處偏僻，少有光害，也是夜間觀星的良好地點。

formerly known as Sakuma Pass (佐久間峠, Sakuma-tōge), It's a mountain pass located in Ren'ai, Nantou, Taiwan, transversing the Central Mountain Range near the peak of Hehuanshan within Taroko National Park. It is the highest paved road in elevation in Taiwan.

Many races are held to ride to Wuling, most notably the Taiwan KOM Challenge, a non-UCI sanctioned race beginning in Qixingtan Beach and takes the eastern route. The 107 km race is regarded as an intense climb within the cycling community, with Grand Tour winner Vincenzo Nibali commenting: "I've never ridden such a long and hard climb before in my entire life." Wuling is also a popular stargazing and bird-watching location. Common birds include the Taiwan rosefinch, white-whiskered laughingthrush, and collared bush robin.

當我沒有目的地，當我並沒有要抵達任何特定的地方，而只為了與山同行而出發時，山就完全地展現了他自己，就像一個人拜訪一位朋友，除了與他在一起之外，沒有其他任何意圖。

The mountain gives itself most completely when I have no destination, when I reach nowhere in particular, but have gone out merely to be with the mountain as one visits a friend with no intention but to be with him.

這週末離開台北 也是今年最後一次出境。海關人員翻了翻我的護照 笑笑的對我說「很常來台灣厚～」我回說 「對呀⋯」 今年待在台灣的時間好像不到四個月，比去年短一些。不過這十幾週除了忙碌工作，週末過的也很充實～ 有機會開拓好多單車路線，算學會了攀岩，衝浪玩水划獨木舟，想文青的時候看看展，想不開的時候也去玩了swing爵士舞 😂 也順便騎上海拔3275公尺的武嶺～ 每每我上山下海去收集不同的體驗的時候，上帝總是差派了不同的天使一起陪伴著，真的很感恩～也謝謝妳，台北。要是夏末入秋後妳不那麼愛下雨刮颱風的話會更可愛一些，我還是很愛妳的 😍 大稻埕河岸音樂季煙火 #沒有腳架還學人拍什麼煙火 😫 🚵‍♀️🏄‍♀️🌞🚣⛰🌊☔️💃🌪🚂🎆 I left Taipei for the last time this year this weekend. The immigration officer flipped through my passport and said to me, "You visit Taiwan pretty often yeah?" I said, "Yeah.. maybe you wanna give some resident pass next time?" And of course I didn't say the second line to him 😂 This year I stayed in Taipei for about 14 weeks in total, a tad shorter than I did last year but it wasn't any less enriching. Apart from work, I got to explore many new bike routes, picked up rock climbing, got some vitamin sea surfing and kayaking, checked out some exhibition when I feel artsy, and tried swing dancing too. Oh, and I rode up Wuling Peak at 3275M. I am so grateful for the God sent angels who'd go on these adventures with me, some of which are on the crazier side. Now as for you Taipei, you'd have been even more adorable had you rained a little less entering fall, but I still love you all the same 😘 #fireworkswithouttripod #taipei #taiwan #fireworks #summer #throwback #台北 #台灣 #煙火 #三重 #大稻埕 #福爾摩沙 #formosa (at 忠孝碼頭煙火觀景台)

武嶺回來後 都還沒機會騎車 今天還下了傾盆大雨 只好回味美美的照片 😅 這趟武嶺行最大的驚喜 是有那麼多為專業的攝影師隨行 用生命在幫我們照相 騎車騎到有這些帥帥照 人生好像也無憾了耶 🤣 I haven't been on any rides since Wuling, and it was pouring today, luckily there are lots of gorgeous pictures from this ride for me to go through. The biggest surprise from this trip was actually the fact that there were so many professional photographers to capture these incredible pictures for us! 🚵‍♀️ 📸 @kellog_lai #taiwan #formosa #ride #roadbike #bikelife #optoutside #summer #wuling #specialized #iamspecialized #pensrides #climb #mountains #台灣 #武嶺 #福爾摩沙 #單車 #夏天 #爬坡 #夏末 #丟回 #throwback #tgif (at 武嶺)

熱血的夏天快要結束了 這一個月下來可以去騎車 攀岩 衝浪 划獨木舟 跟118T西進武嶺 考到確保卡 有好多好棒的經驗～ 很感謝神一路看顧保守 家人教會小組朋友一直代禱 上班以外的時間 可以跟朋友出去熱血 曬曬太陽 用不同的方式去感受福爾摩沙的美 秋天再見的時候 再請妳多多指教咯 台灣！ Summers almost over! It's truly incredible to get to experience the beauty of His creations in this land through all the things we get to do, from biking, climbing, to surfing and kayaking. Going up Wuling Peak in perfect weather was indeed the highlight of the month. I look forward to seeing you again in fall, Formosa 😍 #我的屁股會發亮 #taiwan #taipei #outdoors #summer #morning #throwback #light #sun #water #vitaminsea #kayaking #rocks #coast #台灣 #北海岸 #新北市 #夏天 #熱血 #獨木舟 #福爾摩沙 #lensflare #optoutside (at 北海岸)
