Review for: Section B: Fenqihu · Alishan · One-Way Ticket

A good trip with informative explanations, and the snacks were delicious. However, the miniature train is very shaky, so those prone to motion sickness should be sure to bring motion sickness medication.

Review for: Section A: Chiayi · Fenqihu · One-Way Ticket

A rare riding experience, completely different from taking the Forest Railway directly to Fenqihu, especially with the tour guide's diligent explanation, which deepened my understanding of the Forest Railway.

Review for: Section C Alishan · Erwanping · Round-Trip Ticket

In September, the outbound trip departs at 17:15 (5:15 PM) during daylight hours, allowing for scenic photos. However, the return trip starts at 18:00 (6:00 PM) as it begins to get dark, making it nearly pitch black when entering the Erwanping Black Forest. It is said that the daytime schedule in October is preferable.

Review for: Section F: Fenqihu · Chiayi · One-Way Ticket

The "Xuyue" train is definitely worth experiencing. Listening to the guided tour along the way and admiring the ever-changing scenery outside the window is a very different experience from the "Shanan" and "Haifeng" trains. Although the train has restrooms, they are extremely small and are the original, unaltered restrooms from the forest railway. Unless it's an absolute emergency, there's no need to use them on the train. The Alishan Forest Railway is a truly unique experience. I hope Alishan focuses more on conservation and less on development. After visiting Alishan, I hope everyone will cherish Taiwan's treasures even more.
