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.

I went to the location last minute and was assigned a therapist for a 100-minute foot and body massage. Overall, the service was satisfactory. I felt that this therapist was a bit new, but I believe with more practice and experience, they will become a top performer at the shop!

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! 😊

Even though the weather was hot, fishing was a lot of fun, but it was also quite challenging, and I was a little sad I didn't catch anything. Clam digging was incredibly fun, an experience city kids rarely get. Dragon boating was also very interesting. We caught our own clams to eat and then grilled them. The overall experience was more enjoyable than I expected. It's definitely worth a visit!

I was a bit worried after reading the Google reviews, but when I arrived, I was incredibly surprised! The staff were all super nice, and the birthday decorations were much prettier than I imagined! There are activities at the campsite both day and night, so it's never boring. Plus, the BBQ dinner is definitely worth adding on, and the breakfast buffet was also delicious with a good variety of fresh ingredients, which is the most important thing! I genuinely loved it much more than I expected! I definitely want to come back, I loved it so much! 🫶🏼

Our tour guide, Max, was really awesome! He made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip and was always happy to help. He was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience more enjoyable. We really appreciated how well he took care of everyone and made sure we had a great time. Highly recommend Max if you’re looking for a fun and comfortable tour experience!

What to know before visiting Chiayi
Chiayi at a glance
Chiayi is a compact city that often draws travellers for relaxing Massages, visits to Historical sites and guided Tours, with Parks & gardens and Cultural experiences rounding out bookings. Klook booking data shows visitor numbers vary through the year: the busiest period is in September and August while pockets of the year are very quiet, especially May. If you want leisurely cultural exploration and easy access to green spaces, pick a quieter month; if you want festival energy and fuller services, go in the peak season. Decide whether you want crowds or calm — Klook booking data helps you time it.
Best months to visit Chiayi
Chiayi’s busiest months are August and September, with September the single peak month and about 172% higher demand compared with a typical month, while May is the quietest with 47% lower demand, according to Klook booking data. Prices move across the year: the dataset’s median price is typically around HKD 412, with the priciest month in June and the cheapest in November. For lower prices and smaller crowds choose November or other quieter months; for peak-season atmosphere and events aim for August–September.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most Hong Kong travellers lock things in well ahead: on Klook people typically book around 153 days ahead, and the earliest planners book about 153 days out as well. Treat Chiayi as a trip to plan in advance, and be especially mindful of the August–September peak when booking earlier pays. For quieter months you can be more flexible, but if you want popular massages, guided tours or weekend visits to parks reserve them on Klook early to secure preferred times. Klook booking data suggests booking in advance keeps options open and reduces last‑minute stress.
