Chiayi

I was happy to see the Chinese cabbage, which I couldn't see during my last business trip. Entry was smooth, and the view from the restaurant was also great.

It was as comfortable as Japan's Shinkansen bullet train. I was glad I could use it at half price for a one-way trip. Booking was also smooth.

I bought it online on short notice; there are very few visitors on weekdays. When you enter, you bring hay to feed the animals.

The contact information provided the day before was clear, the driver was friendly, and after picking up the luggage, I contacted him by phone. He quickly arrived at the designated pick-up/drop-off point and even helped put the luggage in the trunk. He navigated the route using Google Maps, was a good driver, and the car was comfortable and clean. He was also willing to let me know if I had any special needs. Overall, it was great value for money and highly recommended! 👍🏻

I also participated in a tour in January, so this was my second time. I feel bad about the difficulty of communication on local tours because I don't speak Chinese (and my English is quite shaky), but when I participated in January, I was able to communicate fairly well using a translation app on my phone, so this time I also informed them in advance that I couldn't speak the language before signing up. I usually go alone wherever I can (I've been to Alishan once by Taiwan Tourist Shuttle bus), but tours are definitely more efficient for sightseeing. Our driver this time, Wang Wang, used LINE's translation function to communicate frequently in the group chat, and he also shared a lot of local information during the hike, which made it incredibly enjoyable. Thank you so much for your kindness. The group from Hong Kong who were in the same car were also very cheerful, and we had a wonderful day. Alishan truly has beautiful scenery, and walking there feels like a cleansing experience. It has become a precious memory.

Very close to the train station, maybe a 5 minute walk away. Wide selection with great prices and great service! The scooter was clean and ready to go; I felt confident in its reliability as well.

Both the sweet and savory meals were delicious, and the train stopped twice to explore, listen to historical stories, and take photos of Turtle Island. The interior of the train was upscale and comfortable, and the service staff were very friendly.

It's always crowded, so early reservations are recommended. There's also space to store large suitcases, making it very comfortable.
