Easy to get into the park! Yummy sweets provided as part of the ticket! just ensure if you want the train/bus ticket. Cars are not allowed into the park area so walk or bus/train will be the option! lovely place and highly recommended to visit!

Although the bus ride was quite long, knowing that Alishan is at an altitude of 2,000+ makes the long journey necessary. The tour leader, Alicia, was very good, explained things clearly, and was cheerful and lively.

Our tour guide was Seven. His explanations of each attraction were very clear, from the location introduction to the cultural background, all delivered in a very organized manner that made it easy to understand. Along the way, Seven also recommended local delicacies and shopping locations, allowing us to taste authentic flavors and buy high-quality local products. In Alishan, he specifically explained why the trees in Alishan grow so spectacularly, and how some of the precious trees were transported away during the Japanese rule. He also shared the origin story of the Alishan Temple, which sounded very interesting and added cultural depth to the entire journey. Throughout the trip, his driving skills were very steady and professional, making us feel safe and comfortable all the way. Seven was also very willing to help and take photos. In addition, there were seven travel companions in our group, and everyone got along very well, creating a harmonious and happy group atmosphere. Overall, we were very satisfied with this trip, and Seven's guided tour made the trip even more wonderful and fulfilling. Highly recommended to everyone!
