Amei Mountain is located in Green Island Township, Taitung County, in the center of the island. It is 276 feet above sea level and is the second highest peak on Green Island, only 4 meters lower than Huoshao Mountain. It is the source of several rivers on the island, which flow radially into the sea.
The gentle steps and dirt roads are very easy to walk on. Along the way, there are insects chirping, birds singing, butterflies flying, and rich ecology. There are mileage indicators. There is no foundation stone on the top of the mountain. Standing on the viewing platform, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the peaks such as Huoshao Mountain and Niuzi Mountain. When the weather is clear, you can even see the southern section of the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan Island, overlooking the entire island and the coastline of Green Island. The scenery is excellent.
