Chiayi Turer

Our guide, Alisia, was excellent, providing a soft-spoken and friendly tour. She guided us in both Chinese and English, with 14 years of experience and a calm demeanor. She even sang for us, creating a wonderful atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday by bus and learned that the Hinoki (cypress) trees are truly massive, and Alishan is an incredibly vast mountain. Since it's an all-day journey, we recommend bringing snacks. Of course, there are food stalls available along the way.

Jag bokade en 2-dagarsresa med en övernattning till Alishan, lockad av att skogsjärnvägen ingick (utresa: bil, hemresa: bil + tåg). Efter att bokningen bekräftats fick jag information via LINE om vad jag skulle packa och viktiga anvisningar. Strax före resan fick jag detaljerad information om mötesplats, förarens namn och registreringsnummer för transferbilen, vilket kändes tryggt. (Allt var på kinesiska, men det gick att lösa med översättningsprogram.) Dokumenten jag fick när jag klev in i transferbilen fanns även på japanska, vilket var lätt att förstå. Guiden talade kinesiska, så jag behövde någon som översatte, men under den två timmar långa vandringen fanns det gott om tid för förklaringar. Stigarna var väl underhållna med trädäck och stenbeläggning, så även jag, som inte är i toppform, kunde gå hela sträckan trots regnet. En sak att tänka på är att om man använder bil (privat transfer) är risken stor att bli åksjuk, eftersom vägen är en slingrande bergsväg med kraftiga lutningar. Trots att jag vanligtvis inte blir åksjuk, mådde jag ganska illa under transfern från Alishan till Fenqihu på hemvägen och önskade att jag hade haft med mig åksjuketabletter.

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!

Vår guide Jason var verkligen trevlig och mycket tillmötesgående. Han såg till att vi var bekväma och välmående. Vi fick se många sevärdheter och kunde göra olika aktiviteter. Vi njöt av den korta resan till Alishan #JasonWolf

It was a great 2 days trip and totally worth it to go to Alishan (one day would have been too rush and not having enough time to enjoy Alishan/ Chiayi/ Taichung). Mr B. Tsai was very accommodating and flexible with itinerary, especially with kid. That’s the benefit of having private tour as we were able to change itinerary to suit us. He also dropped us off at Taoyuan airport af the end of the tour as per request. Accommodation was clean, quiet with beautiful view of tea farm. Will definitely book with them for other tours when next visit Taiwan.
