Chiayi Park

I have a lung condition and was a little worried because the hotel was at an altitude of 2200m, but Alishan Hotel was wonderful. I enjoyed bathing while looking at the forest, watching the sunrise and fireflies. Although I couldn't go for a walk, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. When I took the Alishan Railway down the mountain, people along the line waved to me, and I really felt that it was a special train. The stop was only about 10 minutes, but I was able to buy a delicious bento box at Fenqi Station, which made me happy. However, a journey of almost 4 hours is quite long😅 For those with lung conditions who are concerned about their blood oxygen levels, please be aware that my resting oxygen level was 97-98, but it dropped to 80-85, and sometimes even below 70 while walking.

Most of the accommodations were great, especially all the staff (the lovely receptionists explained things very clearly, responded quickly, and were very attentive; Mr. Wang, who picked us up, arrived early and was very attentive and helpful, chatting like a tour guide in the train carriage; and Mr. Wu explained every detail in a very humorous way, making us listen very carefully). The accommodations were very convenient, located near the train station with shopping malls and restaurants, though they were a bit old. The biggest regret was not seeing the sunrise because the weather wasn't as expected.
