Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Chiayi

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.

Naakit ako sa pagkakasama ng forest railway kaya nag-book ako ng 2-araw, 1-gabing biyahe sa Alishan (papunta: kotse, pabalik: kotse + tren). Pagkatapos makumpirma ang booking, nakatanggap ako ng impormasyon sa LINE tungkol sa mga kailangan dalhin at mga paalala. Bago ang biyahe, nakatanggap din ako ng detalyadong impormasyon tulad ng meeting place, pangalan ng driver, at plate number ng sasakyan, na nakapagbigay sa akin ng kapanatagan. (Bagama't lahat ay nasa Chinese, nagamit ko ang translation software para maintindihan.) Ang mga dokumentong ibinigay sa akin pagpasok sa sasakyan ay mayroon ding Japanese na bersyon, kaya madali itong intindihin. Ang gabay ay nagsasalita ng Chinese, kaya kailangan kong ipatranslate ito, ngunit sa loob ng 2-oras na hiking, maraming oras para sa paliwanag, at ang daanan ay maayos na gawa sa kahoy at bato, kaya kahit ako na walang gaanong lakas ay nakapaglakad nang maayos kahit umuulan. Isang paalala: kung gagamit ka ng kotse (private transfer), mataas ang posibilidad na mahilo ka dahil sa paikot-ikot na daan sa bundok na may matarik na kurbada. Kahit hindi ako madalas mahilo, labis akong nahilo sa sasakyan pabalik mula Alishan patungong Fenqihu, at naisip kong sana ay nagdala ako ng gamot para sa hilo.

Ang biyahe sa Alishan ay talagang kahanga-hanga 🌟👏 Ang "Sacred Trees" ng Alishan, nakamamanghang paglalakbay sa libu-libong taon. Ang matatayog na "Sacred Trees" na ito ay tahimik na nakatayo sa sinaunang kagubatan, ang ilan sa mga higanteng puno ng red cypress ay mahigit 2000 taon na ang edad, at tinatawag na "buhay na aklat ng kasaysayan." Pakiramdam namin ay pumasok kami sa ibang mundo, tulad ng isang paraiso. Nagpapasalamat kami sa aming tour guide na si Kuya Kai, siya ay mabait at matiyaga, at may napakayamang kaalaman sa kasaysayan, kultura, halaman, at puno ng Alishan. Sa daan, ipinakilala niya sa amin ang mga tanawin, nagkuwento ng mga kasaysayan, at tinulungan kaming kumuha ng mga litrato, na nagdagdag ng maraming kasiyahan sa buong biyahe. Bagama't umuulan nang malakas at may makapal na hamog, si Kuya Kai ay nagmamaneho nang napakaligtas, na nagbibigay ng kapayapaan ng isip, tulad ng isang nakatatandang kapatid na nag-aalaga sa bawat isa. Talagang napakahirap ng kanyang trabaho, salamat Kuya Kai, napakabihira na makahanap ng isang dedikado at propesyonal na tour guide na tulad niya. Ang aming biyahe sa Taiwan ay nagtapos nang perpekto, lahat ay sulit 👍👍👍

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!

I was a bit worried after reading the Google reviews, but when I arrived, I was incredibly surprised! The staff were all super nice, and the birthday decorations were much prettier than I imagined! There are activities at the campsite both day and night, so it's never boring. Plus, the BBQ dinner is definitely worth adding on, and the breakfast buffet was also delicious with a good variety of fresh ingredients, which is the most important thing! I genuinely loved it much more than I expected! I definitely want to come back, I loved it so much! 🫶🏼

I wholeheartedly recommend technicians #57 and #13 that I encountered today. The massage process was very comfortable and included a warming eye mask, as well as an electric back massage and heated neck support. After the massage, they also do cupping. The whole experience was just so comfortable.

Our tour guide Jason was really nice and very accommodating. he made sure we are comfortable and well fed. we were able to see a lot of attractions and was able to do different activities. we enjoyed the short trip to 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.
