Coisas para fazer em Chiayi Station

The charm of the forest railway was what drew me to book a 2-day, 1-night trip to Alishan (outbound: car, return: car + train). After confirming the reservation, I received information about what to bring and precautions via LINE, and just before the trip, I got detailed updates on the meeting point, driver's name, and vehicle number, which was reassuring. (Although everything was in Chinese, translation software helped me understand.) The documents provided when boarding the shuttle car also included Japanese, which was easy to understand. The guide spoke Chinese, so I couldn't understand without someone translating, but there were many explanation times during the 2-hour hike, and the paths were well-maintained with wooden decks and stone pavements, so even I, with low stamina, could walk comfortably even in the rain. One thing to note is that if you use a private shuttle car, there's a high risk of motion sickness because it drives on winding mountain roads with considerable inclines. Even though I don't usually get motion sickness, I felt quite ill in the shuttle car on the way back from Alishan to Fenqihu, and I regretted not bringing motion sickness medication.

I went to the location last minute and was assigned a therapist for a 100-minute foot and body massage. Overall, the service was satisfactory. I felt that this therapist was a bit new, but I believe with more practice and experience, they will become a top performer at the shop!
