Alishan

This shared tour was great value. Besides the 9-seater Benz, the driver also acted as a tour guide, accompanying us throughout the entire trip, providing commentary, and even finding great angles to take photos for us – the photos turned out beautifully. Luckily, the weather was nice that day. We ate at a famous tin box bento box restaurant along the way and finally rode a miniature train. Because some sections of the road have many curves, it's recommended that those prone to motion sickness take motion sickness medication beforehand.

Our guide, Moose, is very friendly and takes great care of the passengers. The Alishan tour is really focused on taking photos and enjoying the scenery, but I was happy that he took a lot of them. The scenery is truly beautiful, and the walking distance is less than I expected. There was some traffic on the way there and back, but he still drove us back to the city center quickly. It's a bit cramped for eight people, but it was comfortable and safe. I highly recommend this tour at least once during your trip to Taiwan.

The scenery at each point is absolutely amazing. Hotel stay is also good 4 stars with large room. Travel around the 3 point though is tiring due to hill road

The pick up was easy and the driver sending us up to Alishan was friendly. There were 6 (plus a baby) of us in the vehicle. After dropping in different rest stops, we finally reached in the afternoon, but before the check ins. We stayed in Alishan House. After leaving the luggage, we went for lunch in our hotel that provided a HUGE array of dishes. We took shutter bus to the visitor centre and we carried on our tour. Tour content consist of mainly the history of the place during Japanese occupation and the different types of trees in the area. We checked in for early rest and bus picked us at 430am to see the sunrise. Clear instructions were given on what to do through out. We were brought down Alishan and with different stops. We were blessed to see the Sunrise cos i heard there is only a 25% to see a very clear one such as ours. So Praise the Lord for that. Would come back again.

The driver was kind and thorough. He took photos for us, and when it rained, he even offered us an umbrella when we got off. The bus was clean and tidy. The lunch we had along the way was delicious. It was a great experience to get to know Alishan, even if only briefly. Alishan is a bit far to visit in one day. For those who can only spare one day, this tour is well worth it.

I turned 40 and visited Alishan for the first time. I'm grateful for the arrangements made by Aiwanmei Travel Agency. The weather was great for the past two days and I'm very grateful. The forest guide was a local Alishan native and his explanations were excellent. The room at the Alishan Geda Hotel was very spacious and comfortable. I was lucky enough to see the sunrise on the second day. In the afternoon, I went to Fenqihu Old Street, which I had never been to before. The scenery on the last two-hour forest train trip was truly priceless. Finally, I would like to thank the two drivers who picked me up and dropped me off. They were very kind and professional.

I arrived in Chiayi the day before and checked the bus boarding location. I was able to get breakfast early and catch the 6am bus. The scenery was amazing first thing in the morning, and walking around the big trees was soothing, with lots of negative ions. After returning to Chiayi, I stopped by an Alishan tea cafe and met a woman who had interned in Japan. We had a great time chatting and it was an unforgettable experience.
