Chiayi: Excursão de um dia a Alishan e excursão de vários dias a partir de Chiayi

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

Inscrevi-me no pacote de 2 dias e 1 noite em Alishan (ida de carro, volta de carro + trem) porque achei atraktivou o fato de incluir a ferrovia florestal. Após a confirmação da reserva, recebi mensagens via LINE com itens para levar e precauções, e pouco antes da viagem, recebi detalhes como o local de encontro, o nome do motorista e o número do veículo de traslado, o que me deixou muito tranquila (tudo em chinês, mas dá para entender usando um software de tradução). Os documentos entregues ao embarcar no veículo de traslado também tinham versão em japonês, o que facilitou bastante. O guia falava apenas chinês, então precisávamos que alguém traduzisse para entender, mas houve muitas paradas para explicação durante a caminhada de 2 horas. Como o caminho é pavimentado com decks de madeira e pedras, consegui caminhar perfeitamente, mesmo sem muito preparo físico e com chuva. Um ponto de atenção: ao utilizar o carro (traslado privativo), a estrada na montanha é cheia de curvas e com muita inclinação, o que aumenta bastante o risco de enjoo. Costumo não passar mal de carro, mas fiquei com um mal-estar considerável no veículo de traslado na volta de Alishan para Fenqihu, e percebi que deveria ter trazido remédio para enjoo.

The best tour that Ive been on so far! The driver picked us up on time, had a bag with all the essentials including water, snacks, maps and got all our tickets ready. He was amazing in taking pictures and knew all the nice places! I was very happy although I was the only one who couldnt speak in Chinese, he explained it to me separately in English which I highly appreciated. As for the location, it was really pretty and although the roads were rough (especially for someone with motion sickness), I actually did not feel it after taking my medication and falling asleep as the van was very comfortable.

Don’t think it’s expensive but it worth it, especially for solo traveler. No need to rush the bus and took long travel time. Driver will explain some of the history to gain your knowledge and help everyone to take photo in every station he stop by. The pros is driver help to purchase train tickets and lunch box included. Will stop by at Fengqi, Tea garden, a few different walking trails on the way to alishan which you can’t go if you take buses. Also stop for washroom and give you tips how and where need to visit when inside the park. Although it just 2 hours inside the Alishan National Forest but it is enough if you not plan to climb up to the top. I enjoyed the tour and have good rest in mpv car. I also can see different scenery along the way. No rush and relax. The only regret is the weather not so good in the evening, can’t see beautiful sunset and seas if clouds. No fource purchase if bring to to souvenir store.

great trip n no rush at all . tour guide wu is good at his job n very detail explanations on history n development. hotel average only but like 5mins to Alishan train station as easier to catch sunrise train. steamboat dinner was good too

很棒的體驗，這次選擇第一天坐小火車上阿里山，雖然價格比較高、到阿里山的時間也需要比較久，另外前往阿里山的火車是舊式的，和一般常坐的火車相比，比較小台，因此座位較少空間也較小、坐起來搖搖晃晃的，但搭著火車沿路欣賞風景，看著從嘉義火車站出發的嘉義市區街景，慢慢轉換到阿里山的樹林山景，最後在十字路火車站下車，是很特別的體驗！而參加旅行社行程的好處，就是不需要自己搶隔天要前往祝山火車站看日出的火車票、還會有導遊進行導覽解說，很適合第一次到阿里山的遊客，可以輕鬆簡單的了解阿里山及其特色和歷史。飯店的部分旅行社這次安排我們入住文山賓館，是老飯店，沒有電梯，但環境整潔乾淨，維護的還算不錯！隔天凌晨5點的小火車，當天遊客也是非常多，若想有看日出的絕佳位置，我想可能需要提早至少一小時就先到火車站排隊，當天雲層厚沒有看到日出，讓我有了下次再訪阿里山的好理由！而第二天我們選擇專車接駁，12點多出發，12點前可以自由探訪阿里山，一開始覺得時間很充裕，但走了行程建議的水山步道後才發現根本不夠啊～好想在阿里山待久一點！返程司機兼導遊開得有點狠讓我有點暈車，沿路會到奮起湖、愛情大草原以及檜意生活村，個人覺得每處停留的時間都稍趕了點，可以刪掉較沒有什麼的愛情大草原。下午五點抵達嘉義火車站，結束此次的旅程，總體來說是一趟值得體驗的療癒之旅，打完這篇心得後我又開始懷念阿里山了～

This was a very well-organized trip. I wasn’t expecting much and this exceeded my expectations. From the confirmation whatsapp messages to answering my questions, the tour operator was quick to reply and understood what I was asking (in English). The day before, you are put into a large whatsapp group and everyone going on the tour is blasted messages to let them know which transfer vehicles they will be boarding. Different drivers and guides appear along the way. An information package with vouchers, maps, and the itinerary are given out the moment you meet your first driver. Large luggage are driven up to the hotel, the train ride up Alishan was fun and beautiful in an old swaying train, and upon arrival there is someone waiting to pick you up. Timings of when to be back are verbally given out, use a translator app if you cannot understand. Watch your timings. There are a lot of people waiting for the sunrise train, you get an option to switch to a bus to go to another location too.

Really recommended tour, the driver Mr. Xu pick up us at the hotel. While driving, he tell us the background story of alishan very detail. The itinerary also described very clear, all tickets and lunch included, so we don't have to worry about the ticket and meal. Really stress-free and enjoyable trip, love it

It’s a great journey as it was well organised and the information was available and reminded all the time. We got notifications of who and when we would be picked up and where to go. This two-days trip was just right for me and my family. It was not rushed and we had plenty of time to explore the Alishan Trils ourselves. The included vegetarian dinner and breakfast were great value. overall we are really enjoying this trip.

pengalaman aku ambil tour ini cukup memuaskan dan membantu. krn aku pergi dengan 2 org tua ku. berangkat dengan mobil besar ber 7 dengan yang lainnya yg ga dikenal, tapi mobilnya nyaman bngt, luas lega gitu. lalu turun dengan kereta khas Alishan yang sudah tua umurnya. agak bersuara krn kereta lama gitu, tp pemandangan nya (jika tdk berkabut) itu indah banget... pengalaman yg berkesan. utk yg masih bingung, dan gatau nantinya disana gimana.. mngkin bisa di coba. 👍
