The entire journey features beautiful scenery, is comfortable and refreshing, offers an expansive view, provides detailed information, and gives tourists a new experience. The characteristics of Alishan National Park are on full display, making it an unforgettable experience. A high-quality trip, well worth recommending!
A special train experience where you can feel the professionalism and enthusiasm of the tour guides throughout.
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.
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.
You can savor each small station and trail, and enjoy the local cuisine and cultural charm of Fenqihu. The tour guide provided excellent commentary, and the experience was delightful.
The process was very interesting. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The souvenirs were carefully prepared and the snacks were delicious. It is suitable for bringing the elderly and children!
The itinerary was great, with a tour guide explaining things along the way. The staff were all very good, and it was a pleasant train journey.
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.
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.
