'''Mount Tao''' ({{zh|t=桃山|p=Tao Shān}}) is a {{convert|3325|m|ft|adj=mid|-high|0}} mountain located in the north of [Wuling Farm](/source/Wuling_Farm) and is one of the Snow Mountains group.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tao Mt.(Wuling Quadruple Mountains)風雨中桃山行 |url=https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/tao-mt-wuling-quadruple-mountains |access-date=2024-02-04 |website=AllTrails.com |language=en}}</ref> The mountain is ranked 44 on the Taiwan hiking declination scale; it borders [Jianshi](/source/Jianshi%2C_Hsinchu) ridge, [Hsinchu County](/source/Hsinchu_County), [Taichung City](/source/Taichung_City) and [Heping District](/source/Heping_District%2C_Taichung), and is marked with peakpoint label no. 6327. In the local [Atayal language](/source/Atayal_language) the mountain is known as "B'bu Qba", meaning "fist hill". In Chinese the name translates to "Peach" mountain, due to the view from the southwest side.
