Abstract
There are glacial remains of three different periods on the main peak of Snow Mountain in Taiwan province, including cirque lake, crosswall, polished surface, striation, moraine etc. These three different periods were called, respectively, Shanzhuang ((44.25 ±3.72) kaBP), Shuiyuan ((18.26 ±1.52) kaBP), and Xueshan glacial stages (the late period of last glaciation). It is characterized by the earlier glacier broad in scale.
