Aboriginal people carrying 50 kg of FOOD to Qika and 369 cabins for Xueshan Hikers in Taiwan
You think it is expensive? Then just think about how much lighter your bag will be! The Aboriginal people carry 40-50 kg each on their back everyday and they cook for you! This is their way of making a living too, so you contribute to their economy too…
They also carry back down 20 Kg of food garbage… so please don’t waste food and eat it all!
40 kg of FOOD at Qika cabin for Xueshan Hikers in Taiwan
Bring your own pot, glass and chopsticks!
They do not provide at 369 hut and this is more hygienic for you too. Water is rare and we can’t wash the dishes as at home…
How to Order?
Of course, you have to order and pay in advance, this is not a common restaurant, the Aboriginal people must go to the valley to buy your food and climb to Qika Hut and 369 Hut,
so order asap ! 🙂

Thanks a lot for this awesome page!
Me and my friends (from Switzerland) were able to secure sleeping bags, dinner and breakfast with zero knowledge of chinese.
This was an awesome experience and I can only recommend it to anyone staying in Taiwan.
A few additions, that helped me:
– install the LINE mobile app, as it is far easier to handle than ordinary mobile messages, especially when it comes to sending pictures
– you can pay the amount at any post office in taiwan – just walk up to the clerk and show him/her the payment information given on this page. They’ll help you get the payment sorted out (there’s a NTD 30 charge for making the payment this way).
– as proof of payment, just send a picture of the receipt given to you in the post office.
– make sure you make yourself known in the kitchen once your at the hut – the cook has to know how many people will be there for dinner. Our cook didn’t speak any english, so I showed him the conversation in the LINE app, which did the trick. If you stay multiple night, you’ll have to register every afternoon for the dinner of the day.
– you can tell the cook at what time in the morning you would like breakfast (we used google translate for that)
– there may be different cooks for multiple groups at the hut, so don’t fret if a lot of people are getting dinner and nobody told you – it’s just one of the other groups getting their fill. The cook took really good care that everybody on his list got dinner, so you won’t be left out.
