Abstract Records of the thermal-age path of orogenic rocks are crucial in understanding subduction and collisional processes between a continent and an arc. Tectonic events and thermochronological data of the Taiwan Orogen have been extensively investigated. We use the zircon U-Pb youngest ages as the (initial) subduction age, the Raman Spectroscopy of Carbonaceous Material, 40Ar/39Ar age of mica porphyroblasts, whole-rock Lu-Hf isochron age and thermal results as prograde peak metamorphic condition during subduction and basal accretion, and the apatite fission-track data for cooling age of the Taiwan Orogen to illuminate the subduction and collisional processes between the Eurasian Plate and the Luzon Arc. The Hsuehshan Range Nappe, whose subduction was initiated at 12 Ma, reached peak metamorphism with a temperature of ∼250 °C to 490 °C at a depth of 8 km during the interval 6-2.5 Ma, mainly by basal superimposed accretion. The isothermal dwelling during peak metamorphism condition of the Hsuehshan Range suggests that tectonic underplating through basal superimposed accretion contribute significantly to the formation of the Taiwan Orogen, and led to a sudden increase of subduction and decollement depths, and slow downward thickening of the orogenic wedge and mountain root growth. The Yuli Belt subduction was initiated at 15.4∼16 Ma, and attained peak metamorphism at a depth of 40 km, with a temperature of 550∼560 °C and a pressure of 10.5-13 kbar during the interval 12.2∼4.4 Ma due to basal superimposed accretion. The exhumation of the Hsuehshan Range commenced at ∼2.5 Ma, which is later than that of the Yuli Belt at ∼3.4 Ma. Such distinct and different thermal-age paths of the Hsuehshan Range and the Tananao Complex indicate that different tectonic wedges in the Taiwan Orogen are formed through different subduction and accretional processes.
