The outpost of climbing Mount Yu - (Xitou)
Layana has been established for more than 40 years and values the health of every company employee.
In 2016, Layana launched the "Climbing the Hundred Mountains of Taiwan - Yushan Main Peak" for the first time, and jointly formed a team to cultivate exercise habits. In addition to hiking, Layana also participates in the LuKan Marathon regularly every year to help employees enhance their physical strength and help reduce the occurrence of diseases. Colleagues with a BMI greater than the normal target are encouraged to actively practice their health goals. Layana will continue to provide a supportive environment and multiple health promotion activities to help employees improve their quality of life and maintain a balance between physical and mental health and work life.
In 2023, the fourth ladder was officially launched and has already accumulated 31 members.
For those who have decided to climb Mount Yu for the first time, the "First Hundred Mountains Dream" will be fulfilled, and the maximum number of 12 members per ladder (including the alpine guide) will be maintained. The total trail distance is about 22 kilometers, and the altitude ranges from 2,610 meters to 3,952 meters, with an altitude difference of 1,342 meters. In order for first-time climbers to successfully complete the main summit of Mount Yu, they must have knowledge of climbing safety and physical training before setting out.

IV. Application for admission to the website.
We encourage our employees to challenge themselves. Therefore, before climbing Mount, employees must receive physical training at an altitude of 3,000 meters or more and on intermediate level.
On the last day of the holiday, we encourage our employees and their families to go to the Xitou Forest Trail to enjoy the forest phendomin and to warm up before the main peak of Mt. Let your body learn to live with nature, test your muscular endurance training with breathing and rhythm of hands and feet, traverse through the dense forest, and feel the fresh air and pleasant scenery in front of you.
The "Bird Watching Trail" is located in the Xitou Nature Education Park, with a total length of about 2 kilometers and more than 2,800 steps, making it the most challenging trail in the park. At any time, we can see squirrels, birds and Taiwan macaques interacting with each other in the park, experiencing the wildness and shock of nature. After 3 hours of effort, we finally arrived at the end of Xitou - the Observatory (1800M above sea level) and successfully completed the hiking training. Layana will continue to implement the management philosophy of "Challenge the Difficulties" and create a diversified and inclusive environment so that employees can enjoy working to create benefits for the organization and share the fruits of success with the company's growth.
Thanks to Layana for promoting the main peak hiking activity of Mount Yu, which makes people understand their physical condition more, care about their health, and break through my view of mountains, it's really a great activity!
