Какво да правите в Alishan

Wow~ I really feel like you can't visit Alishan unless you take a tour package. I realized there are a lot more high mountains in Taiwan than I thought. There are even higher mountains, but Alishan was also truly fascinating and extremely, extremely high;; Just going up and down the mountain takes an hour, and combined with the travel time from Taichung... it really exhausted me; Even after getting to Fenqihu, I thought, "Okay, we're finally here," but absolutely not. If you get motion sickness, you really, really need to bring motion sickness medicine... Even though I don't usually get motion sickness, it was really tough for me; Strangely, the Chinese-speaking participants on the tour—whether they were Taiwanese(?) or Chinese(?), I'm not sure—were all full of energy and completely fine... The tour guide was Taiwanese, and since there were 4 participants each from Taiwan and South Korea, instead of English, they guided us in Taiwanese and used a translation app for Korean~ Although the trip was exhausting, the photos are so pretty that all those feelings completely vanish, so prepare your stamina well and make sure to visit Alishan, everyone~ It is incredibly magnificent!

Highly recommended - felt safe all throughout the crazy windy bus ride to and from Alishan! Thank you as well to our tour guide, Henry! Prepare to go up and down some stairs. It’s quite a fast-paced trip but still enjoyed time with nature.

The Alishan tour departing from Taichung HSR Station was extremely smooth. After taking the high-speed rail, our driver-guide met us at the meeting point. Along the way, there were a few rest stops for restroom breaks or meals. We highly recommend our driver-guide, Xiao Xin. The mountain roads to Alishan are truly winding, which is why I had wanted to visit for a long time but never dared to drive myself. However, his driving skills are excellent; sitting in the very back of the 9-seater van, I didn't feel carsick at all. Best of all, we could sleep in the car and wake up right in Alishan—it was so comfortable! The scenery in Alishan is breathtaking, a must-visit destination in one's lifetime! The guide provided very detailed explanations of Alishan and shared many interesting stories. He also guided us along an easier, downhill walking route so we wouldn't feel too exhausted, and along the way, he helped take many wonderful photos. He even compiled them into a video and sent us the photos to keep as memories—he is truly dedicated! (As for sharing, the guide took some personal photos that I won't make public, so I'm posting the ones I took myself, some of which used photography techniques shared by the guide). On the return trip, perhaps to keep us from getting bored, the guide prepared some jokes, which made it a lot of fun 😆. The itinerary was well-planned, the guide was humorous and engaging, transportation was convenient, and it offered incredible value. I highly recommend everyone to check out this day tour!

I didn’t realize I book a Chinese tour but the guide was very flexible and it’s nothing Google translate can fix. The tea tour was very informative and the tea tasting ceremony was delicious! The Alishan walking tour was well planned, we didn’t have to climb up everything was just downhill walking.

Пътуването до Алишан беше просто невероятно 🌟👏 „Свещените дървета“ на Алишан, хилядолетна гледка, която спира дъха. Тези извисяващи се „свещени дървета“ стоят тихо в девствената гора, някои от тези гигантски кипариси са на повече от 2000 години и са известни като „живи учебници по история“. Чувствахме се сякаш сме влезли в друг свят, като приказка. Благодарим на нашия екскурзовод, брат Кай, който беше мил и търпелив, с богати професионални познания за човешката история, флората и фауната на Алишан. Той ни разказваше за забележителностите и историческите истории по пътя, помагаше ни да правим снимки и добави много забавление към цялото пътуване. Въпреки че валеше силен дъжд и имаше гъста мъгла, брат Кай караше много стабилно, което ни успокояваше. Той се грижеше за всички като по-голям брат от съседната къща и наистина положи много усилия. Благодарим ти, брат Кай, много е рядко да срещнеш такъв отдаден и професионален екскурзовод. Пътуването до Тайван приключи перфектно, всичко си заслужаваше 👍👍👍

We had Stella as our driver and guide. she picked 5 of us up from Kaohsiung. she was very patient and sweet and we were traveling with one person whi is legally blind. I love that we got to see Alishan without the hassle of waiting for buses and trains. She took us on beautiful hikes to see the tea fields. we had the original bento lunch box at the old street. Overall a fun filled day for all of us!

we had a nice trip with stay at Alishan Gou hotel. fetch from our hotel to Alishan train station. train uphill is a 3 hours ride. toilet on the train is rather rocky, is a fun experience though. the hotel is good just that hot water service for bathing is from 5pm to 11 pm only. hot and cold water dispenser available at hotel lobby. this hotel is good cos just outside the hotel is the giant trees trial. our lady tour guide at giant tree trial is v caring, knowledgeable and intro us to a lot of plants. shuttle service to hotel is every half an hour. morning sunrise need to take another train to 祝山。train station is just outside hotel convenience. downhill to 奋起湖 by minivan. bento is ok, but must try the mini donut there. Our tour guide downhill very considerate, caring and good driver. Hinoki village has some great photos. thank you to all our 3 tour guides driver to the station, at giant forest trail and downhill. would recommend this half free and easy trip to everyone visiting Alishan

We had an amazing time on the 2D1N tour with Joanne! She is such an approachable, knowledgeable and amazing guide. Throughout the trip, she shared interesting information about the places we visited and other useful insights, making the experience even more enjoyable. The views were stunning, and the rides were so much fun! Everything made for a memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Joanne as the guide! 😊

​We had a great time exploring Chiayi, Alishan, and Sun Moon Lake, thanks to our guide, Mrs. Joanna Lin. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable,warm, and patient with us at every stop. ​The only issue was the transportation. A Toyota Wish for four passengers felt too tight and uncomfortable for the long travel hours involved in this itinerary. Upgrading to a slightly larger vehicle would make this trip perfect. Thank you to Joanna for being such a wonderful guide!
