The driver-guide Stella took good care of our family of 5. Sometimes when getting in or out of the car, my mother-in-law had difficulty moving, so she would take the initiative to step forward and help. My daughter got carsick on the way there, so she carefully stopped the car twice to let my daughter rest before continuing on the road without delaying the trip. She also paid attention to my daughter's condition while driving. She introduced suitable walking routes for us according to our preferences and conditions, and taught us how to use handheld special effects to take beautiful photos. We had a comfortable and happy day. Thank you, Stella.

Alishan Forest was an unforgettable experience, made even better by having a knowledgeable tour guide. The towering cypress trees, scenic train rides, and misty mountains were breathtaking. Our guide provided fascinating insights about the forest’s history, local culture, and unique flora and fauna, which truly enriched the trip.
