The trip was an excellent introduction to Alishan. We only have a few hours there which was quite short but the place was absolutely beautiful and the weather was so cooling. A definite must go. The only improvement I would have suggested would be to cut out Fenqihu and spend more time at Alishan if possible. Our guide Humphrey was wonderful and pleasant. He took his time to explain the history and always made sure we had what we needed. The bus we sat on was very comfortable and clean.

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!

A very comfortable and wonderful day! Hotel pick-up and drop-off were extremely convenient, and the itinerary was well-organized. Although the drive from Taichung to Alishan involves a long stretch of winding mountain roads, the driver, Mr. Ren, drove very steadily and reassuringly. The tea-picking experience exceeded expectations; I originally thought it would be mainly about pushing tea sales, but actually the owner and staff of the tea plantation were very warm and attentive with no forced sales at all. They first introduced the process of tea picking and making, took us to tour the workshop, and then let us taste various teas such as black tea and oolong tea, along with some small snacks. The owner himself studied agricultural planting techniques on the mainland for a year in his early years and cares deeply about the tea plantation. The pace of the entire tour was great, and we got to see all the highlights of Alishan. It really saves a lot of hassle compared to arranging transportation on your own. I highly recommend this Alishan day tour to everyone!

The scenery at Chiayi Taiping Suspension Bridge is incredibly beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Klook's ticketing system is very convenient; you can scan the QR code directly for quick and affordable entry. Walking on the suspension bridge at an elevation of 1,000 meters truly gives you a floating sensation; it's genuinely a high-altitude cloud ladder. On the other side of the suspension bridge, you'll find panoramic views that can only be described as breathtaking. The scenery at Yunzhinan Tea Garden is stunning, and from there, you can walk to Taiping Old Street. Upon exiting, you'll see the Air Library, where you can enjoy a local hot pot set meal. It's definitely worth recommending a visit here.

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
