[Day 1] Taipei Railway Station - Chiayi Railway Station - Alishan Forest Recreation Area - Hotel Indigo Alishan [Day 2] Fenchihu - Chiayi Railway Station - Taipei Railway Station

  • Alishan Forest Recreation Area Alishan Mountain Range is one of the five major mountain ranges in Taiwan. Alishan is not a mountain, but refers to the mountainous area in general. Since ancient times, it has had abundant red cypress and cypress. However, it became Taiwan's largest forest farm from 1912 until the late 1960s. After logging by the Japanese and Nationalist governments, the original cypress forest was almost completely cut down. Today, there are nearly 40 giant red cypress trees remaining on the first and second phase giant tree group plank roads, which remind people of the grandeur and sacredness of the sacred forest in the past. The tallest of them, the "Alishan Fragrant Forest Sacred Tree", is 45 meters high, 12.3 meters in circumference, and about 2,300 years old. It is a must-see when visiting Alishan. The first restaurant in Taiwan to introduce Penghu seafood, it was once the first choice for many political and business celebrities to dine together. *Meal price 2000/person already includes expenses
  • Fenchihu is located in Zhonghe Village, Zhuqi Township, Chiayi County, at an altitude of about 1,400 meters. Because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has a low and flat area in the middle, it is shaped like a dustpan, so it was formerly called Dustpan Lake. It is one of the major stations on the forest railway and is famous for its old streets, bento and square bamboo. The name of the place has the word "lake" (meaning basin) but no lake water, so it was later changed to Fenchihu for its homophonic effect. Walking on the old street, it feels like entering a time tunnel. The stone steps are layered one after another, up and down. The area is not large, like a smaller version of Jiufen.
