Our guide, Alisia, was excellent, providing a soft-spoken and friendly tour. She guided us in both Chinese and English, with 14 years of experience and a calm demeanor. She even sang for us, creating a wonderful atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday by bus and learned that the Hinoki (cypress) trees are truly massive, and Alishan is an incredibly vast mountain. Since it's an all-day journey, we recommend bringing snacks. Of course, there are food stalls available along the way.

I was drawn by the inclusion of the forest railway, so I booked a 2-day, 1-night Alishan trip (outbound: car, return: car + train). After the reservation was confirmed, I received information about what to bring and precautions via LINE. Closer to the date, I also received detailed information about the meeting point, driver's name, and vehicle number, which was reassuring. (All in Chinese, but translation software helped.) The documents provided when boarding the shuttle car also included Japanese, which was easy to understand. The guide spoke Chinese, so I needed someone to translate for me, but there was plenty of explanation time during the 2-hour hike. The paths were well-maintained with wooden decks and stone pavements, so even with my limited stamina and in the rain, I was able to walk comfortably. One word of caution: if you use a private car transfer, there's a high risk of motion sickness because the winding mountain roads have significant inclines. Even though I don't usually get car sick, I felt quite ill during the return transfer from Alishan to Fenqihu and wished I had brought motion sickness medication.

I wholeheartedly recommend technicians #57 and #13 that I encountered today. The massage process was very comfortable and included a warming eye mask, as well as an electric back massage and heated neck support. After the massage, they also do cupping. The whole experience was just so comfortable.

The Alishan trip was absolutely fantastic! 🌟👏 The "Sacred Trees" of Alishan are truly awe-inspiring, having stood for thousands of years. These towering "Sacred Trees" stand silently in the primeval forest, some of these giant red cypress trees are over 2,000 years old, earning them the title of "living history textbooks." We felt as if we had stepped into another world, like a fairyland. We're so grateful to our tour guide, Kai Ge. He was kind and patient, possessing extensive professional knowledge about Alishan's culture, history, flora, and fauna. Along the way, he introduced us to attractions, told historical stories, and helped everyone take photos, adding so much enjoyment to the entire trip. Although it rained heavily and was very foggy, Kai Ge drove very steadily, making us feel safe and secure. He looked after everyone like a big brother from next door, and he worked incredibly hard. Thank you, Kai Ge; it's rare to meet such a dedicated and professional guide. Our Taiwan trip concluded perfectly, and everything was worth it! 👍👍👍

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! 🫶🏼

It was a great 2 days trip and totally worth it to go to Alishan (one day would have been too rush and not having enough time to enjoy Alishan/ Chiayi/ Taichung). Mr B. Tsai was very accommodating and flexible with itinerary, especially with kid. That’s the benefit of having private tour as we were able to change itinerary to suit us. He also dropped us off at Taoyuan airport af the end of the tour as per request. Accommodation was clean, quiet with beautiful view of tea farm. Will definitely book with them for other tours when next visit Taiwan.

Max was an outstanding driver for our Alishan day tour—punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He made the entire journey smooth and comfortable, sharing great local insights along the way. Highly recommend Max for a stress-free and enjoyable experience!

Overall, the accommodation experience was very good. The environment was spacious and comfortable, and the public spaces were also kept quite clean. I recommend arriving at the hotel early to look around or relax. The hotel provides underground parking, and if the parking lot is full, you can also park in a nearby parking lot and the hotel will assist with paying the fees, which is very thoughtful.
The room includes indoor slippers, making it comfortable and relaxing to stay in, but the number of seats is slightly limited, which may be a little inconvenient if you want to eat or pack your luggage.
The location is also quite convenient, about a 15-minute walk to Cultural Road Night Market, making it easy to grab a late-night snack or go shopping at night. I especially recommend the nearby A'e Doujiang Douhua, which is delicious and has a local feel.
Overall, with comfortable space, convenient transportation, and parking friendliness, this is a hotel I would be willing to visit again 👍
