Chiayi

It was an amazing tour and it makes it better with the guidance from Justin (Yang) our tour guide and driver. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends and will book Justin in my future travels!

Lákalo ma, že je zahrnutá lesná železnica, a tak som si rezervoval 2-dňový výlet na Alishan s jednou nocou (cesta tam: autom, cesta späť: autom + vlakom). Po potvrdení rezervácie som dostal cez LINE informácie o veciach, ktoré si mám vziať, a dôležité upozornenia. Tesne pred odchodom som dostal podrobné informácie o mieste stretnutia, mene vodiča a ŠPZ vozidla, čo ma upokojilo. (Všetko bolo v čínštine, ale prekladací softvér pomohol.) Dokumenty, ktoré som dostal pri nástupe do vozidla, boli aj v japončine, čo bolo veľmi užitočné. Sprievodca hovoril po čínsky, takže som potreboval, aby mi niekto prekladal, ale počas dvojhodinovej túry bolo veľa času na vysvetľovanie a chodníky boli dobre udržiavané (drevené chodníky a dláždené cesty), takže aj ja, s mojou slabšou kondíciou, som dokázal prejsť celú trasu aj v daždi. Jedno upozornenie: ak používate auto (súkromný transfer), je vysoké riziko nevoľnosti z jazdy, pretože cesta je veľmi kľukatá a strmá. Hoci mi zvyčajne nebýva zle v aute, cestou späť z Alishanu do Fenqihu v transferovom vozidle mi bolo dosť zle a želal som si, aby som si vzal lieky proti nevoľnosti.

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! 👍👍👍

Náš sprievodca Jason bol naozaj milý a veľmi ústretový. Uistil sa, že sme sa cítili pohodlne a boli dobre najedení. Videli sme mnoho atrakcií a mohli sme sa venovať rôznym aktivitám. Krátky výlet do Alishanu sme si užili. #JasonWolf

Max bol vynikajúci vodič pre našu jednodňovú prehliadku Alishan – presný, profesionálny a neuveriteľne znalý oblasti. Celú cestu urobil plynulou a pohodlnou, pričom sa s nami podelil o skvelé miestne poznatky. Maxa vrelo odporúčam pre bezstresový a príjemný zážitok!

Tony bol absolútne najlepší sprievodca, akého sme si na tomto výlete mohli priať! Cesta do Alishanu zahŕňa niekoľko kľukatých ciest, ale šoféroval tak plynulo a bezpečne, že sme sa v aute cítili úplne pohodlne. Je to fantastický spoločník, ktorý nás zabával počas dlhej jazdy, a naozaj sa vyzná v alishanských lesoch. Vrcholom bolo, keď nás vzal do tichej dedinky na obed a pozrieť sa na prechádzajúci vlak – miesto, ktoré by sme sami nenašli. Dokonca si priniesol vlastný fotoaparát a neskôr sa s nami podelil o kvalitné fotografie nás a scenérie. Cestovala som so svojimi staršími rodičmi a Tony bol neuveriteľne trpezlivý a celú skúsenosť im uľahčil. Vrelo odporúčame rezervovať si ho na skupinovú prehliadku!

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 👍

The Chiayi Maison de Chine is the hotel with the most comfortable bed I've ever stayed in. I want to stay at Maison de Chine every time I come to Chiayi in the future. The stay also includes a happy hour voucher where you can eat snacks and drink cocktails, draft beer, or red wine next to the lobby. There aren't many snack items, but it's a nice service to have. It's also very close to the Cultural Road Night Market, within walking distance. Both motorcycles and cars can be parked in their underground parking lot.

I've stayed here twice now, and both times have been great. The rooms are clean inside and out, and having the night market right next door is the best part. Plus, there's the amazing rice noodle soup across the street, and the dog at the dessert shop next door!
