    Standby measure-the limit on the number of people on each route does not equal to the number of bed available in mountain huts(cabins). The following standby measure was established in response to the limit on number of climbers being greater than the number of beds available:

    Bed vacancy standby: When scheduling itinerary, applicants can choose to stay at cabins or to bring their own tents. When cabins are demanded, bed vacancy of the cabins will be distributed according to time order of applications. When no beds are available at the moment of submission, any already-approved party cancels their reservations, thus freeing bed vacancies, the system will redistribute bed vacancies to the parties according to time order of applications. Bed vacancy standby ends at 3 pm before the day of departure.

    Route waitlist: Every route allows up to 10 teams on the waitlist for each route each day. When a route is fully booked, the system will automatically register applicants on the waitlist. If an already-approved party cancels their application for that day and the number of freed places is equal or more than the number of people in the first team on the standby list, the system will automatically move the first team on the waitlist to within the quota. If an already-approved party cancels their application for that day and the number of freed places is less than the number of people in the first team on the standby list, the system will automatically contact the first team on the waitlist by email informing them that places are available and that they can modify the number of persons on their team to fit the available freed places. If the notified team does not take the places within two days, their application will automatically be cancelled and the places will be offered to the next team on the waitlist. The waitlist expires according to the time limit for application for each route.

    Zhuilu Old Trail waitlist:
    *A flexible increase in daily quotas according to the last team that submitted their application before the quota has been reached.
    *A maximum of 10 teams on standby (waitlist) to hike Zhuilu Old Road per day. When the daily quota for Zhuilu Old Road has been reached, the system will automatically register applications on standby (waitlist).
    *If an already-approved party within the daily quota cancels their application for that day and the number of freed places is equal or more than the number of people in the first team on the standby list, the system will automatically move the first team on the waitlist for that specific day to within the quota (the entire party member will be approved by the park if there are no violation records.). If after the first team is moved to within the quota and the remaining freed places is still more than the number of people in the next (second) team on the standby list for that specific day, the system will automatically consider this standby party, and follow suit for successive parties according to their application submission time. The system will pause the above standby measures when the number of people on the next standby team is equal to or more than the remaining freed places within the quota for the specified day.
    *If the total number of persons admitted to Zhuilu Old Road exceeds the daily quota, the standby measures detailed above in (C) will be suspended until the number of persons admitted to Zhuilu Old Road is less than the daily quota (i.e. if persons/teams already within the daily quota cancel their applications to reduce the total number of admitted persons).
    *The standby application window for Zhuilu Old Road ends at 3 pm the working day before the date of intended entry (i.e. 3 pm the day before consecutive public holidays).
