Some background information about Jade Mountain:
Yu Shan or Yushan, also known as Mount Jade, Jade Mountain, or Mount Yu, and known under Japanese rule as Mount Niitaka, is the highest mountain on Taiwan at 3,952 m (12,966 ft) above sea level, giving Taiwan the 4th-highest maximum elevation of any island in the world. It is the highest point in the western Pacific region outside of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Yushan and surrounding mountains belong to Yushan Range. The area was once in the ocean; it rose to its current height because of the Eurasian Plate's movement over the Philippine Sea Plate.
The mountains are now protected as the Yushan National Park. The national park is Taiwan's largest, highest, and least accessible national park. It contains the largest tract of wilderness remaining in Taiwan and is also valued for its pristine forests and faunal diversity, including many endemic species. On July 21, 2009, Yushan was elected one of 28 finalists in the New7Wonders of Nature voting campaign. It even had held the top position in the “Mountains and Volcanoes” category on the list of first-round voting of the 77 nominees ended on July 7, 2009.

The coordinates for this Waymark are for the location of where you can see Jade Mountain Main Peak — the tallest mountain in Taiwan. Here you will be technically standing near Jade Mountain North Peak (which stands at 3,858 meters above sea level) but it is here near the North Peak where you can hold up the $1,000 bill and see the same view of Jade Mountain Main Peak across the way, hence having this unique scenic view.
Take a picture of you holding the $1,000 bill here at this location and take in the splendor of this majestic view.
I personally visited this location on November 25th, 2019. Attached are a photo of just my hand holding the bill with the mountain in the background and a full body shot of me holding the bill at this location.
In order to enter the National Park where this mountain is located you will need to apply for permission in advance here:
