Yushan (Chinese:
玉山; pinyin:
Yùshān; literally ‘
Jade Mountain’; it can also be referred to as
Mount Yu) is the highest mountain in Taiwan and the fourth highest mountain on an island. In the past, Yushan was known among English-speaking expats and missionaries as Mt. Morrison, thought to have been named in honor of the 19th century missionary Robert Morrison. Today, the mountain is referred to as
Yushan or
Jade Mountain. The highest point of Yushan range, Yushan, is 3,952 metres above sea level. Yushan was once in the ocean and raised to the current height because the Eurasian Plate slid under the neighboring Philippine Sea Plate.
