Čo robiť v Chiayi

Alicia was a sweet, knowledge, and skilled tour guide! The tour was ran smoothly and had lots of chances to take photos, buy food + souvenirs, and take in the beautiful sights. As someone studying abroad in Taichung for a month with only weekends available, this was a great and affordable (compared to US prices) way to experience Alishan.

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.

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! 👍👍👍

Came here n times, and this time I met the best massage therapist, #97, in these two stores in Chiayi. I belong to the type whose shoulders and neck are very tense, so tense that it’s almost impossible to massage. In less than 20 minutes, she helped me relieve the tension in my shoulders, neck, and back. Her technique is gentle but effective in finding the pain points. The treatment isn't even over yet, and I can't wait to write a review. Thank you, massage therapist F97... This time, I came with my family, and fortunately, my family members met massage therapist F93, who was quiet and professional, and made them relax, which my family liked. If you come, please specify #97 or #93! Massage therapist: F93 Massage therapist: F97

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!

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!
