Chiayi Station tours

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
