    do you know when the japanese came to taiwean in 1895 to rule the
    island, they thought Mt Fuji was highest mountain in the Emperoro's
    lands....but when they came to taiwan they found out that Mt Jade is
    higher than Fuji-san and they called it in Japanese then and even
    today Ni-taka Yama....NEW HIGH Mountain....... interesting!



    today there is smog, cannot see the mountain or the snow., TOO MANY
    CARS and CO2.....sigh

    Hello Daniel,
    Wow! The view of Mt. Jade with snow on the peak is beautiful!
    From my room, we can see Mt. Fuji on a clear day.
