A budget-friendly trip can allow you to experience the beauty of Alishan. If the weather is good, you can enjoy the sunrise, sea of clouds, railway, and forest all at once. However, it's recommended to clean the upper luggage racks thoroughly as they tend to be dusty.
It is a pleasant experience. I love the decoration, food and service. The duration of the trip is long, it is not suitable for infant. If you are fan of Sanrio characters, I think you will love this train as each cabin comes with different pictures.
The driver, Chan Shi Wai, was very responsible. The seats were comfortable and clean. The team worked seamlessly to ensure the safety of all passengers. It was a very fulfilling day when we got to Alishan
