Under Japanese rule, it was designated part of the Niitaka Arisan National Park in 1937. Several other mountains are also located in the park, including Siouguluan Mountain, Mabolasih Mountain, Dafenjian Mountain, Sinkang Mountain, and Guan Mountain. The mountain is a favorite of Taiwanese mountain climbers.

In 1864 President Lincoln signed an announcement regarding the establishment of Yosemite as the first State Park in the world.

The park is also known for its diverse wildlife and ecology.The environment around Yu Shan itself spans from sub-tropical forests at its base to alpine conditions at its peak. The summer seasons last longer and winter seasons go shorter.
The park encompasses a variety of habitats ranging from broadleaf forest at lower altitudes to mixed forest, coniferous forest, bamboo, and finally, at the highest elevations, waist-high arrow bamboo, clumps of conifers, and bare rocky outcrops. Flowers include azaleas, which abound in spring, and a wide variety of colorful alpine blossoms. The park is home to a large variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and butterflies.Larger animals such as the sambar deer, black bear,Taiwan macaque, and serows can sometimes be seen, and their call is often heard.
The National Parks in Taiwan were established according to the first and sixth clauses of the National Park Laws. Their aim is to protect and preserve unique natural sceneries, wildlife, and historical sites in the national parks and to provide people with a place for education, recreation, and research.Thus national parks should maintain three goals: preservation; education and recreation; and research.
Nature Reserves should offer long-term preserved natural landscapes, native fauna and flora, and unique ecosystems.The beautiful sounds of nature are not only pleasing, but also remind us of the preciousness of life.
