Chiayi Päiväretket

Our guide from Taichung is Mr. Eric! We had a wonderful experience today with him as our tour guide. He kept the whole group together throughout the day and made sure everyone felt safe at every stop. His explanations were clear and informative, giving us a much deeper understanding of what we were seeing. He also managed the itinerary perfectly, keeping everything on schedule without ever feeling rushed. On top of that, he was incredibly helpful with photography, making sure we all got great shots and even offered good tips for framing our photos. Highly recommend if you want a smooth, safe, and enjoyable tour!

Varauduimme kahden päivän ja yhden yön matkalle Alishaniin (menomatka autolla, paluumatka autolla ja junalla), koska metsärautatie oli niin houkutteleva. Varauksen vahvistamisen jälkeen saimme LINE-viestillä tietoa pakattavista tavaroista ja varoituksista, ja juuri ennen matkaa saimme tarkat tiedot tapaamispaikasta, kuljettajan nimestä ja kuljetusauton rekisterinumerosta, mikä oli rauhoittavaa. (Kaikki oli kiinaksi, mutta käännösohjelmisto auttoi.) Kuljetusautoon noustessamme saimme asiakirjoja, jotka olivat selkeitä ja sisälsivät myös japaninkielisen version. Opas puhui kiinaa, joten emme ymmärtäneet ilman tulkkausta, mutta kahden tunnin vaelluksen aikana oli paljon selitysaikaa, ja polut olivat hyvin hoidettuja puukansineen ja kivetyksineen, joten jopa minä, jolla ei ole paljon kuntoa, pystyin kävelemään hyvin sateessakin. Yksi varoitus: jos käytät autoa (yksityinen kuljetus), on suuri riski matkapahoinvointiin, koska tie on erittäin mutkainen ja jyrkkä vuoristotie. Vaikka en yleensä kärsi matkapahoinvoinnista, tunsin oloni erittäin huonoksi paluumatkalla Alishanista Fenqihuun ja toivoin, että olisin ottanut matkapahoinvointilääkettä mukaan.

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! 👍👍👍

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!
