– Accommodation Information –

【Chiayi Guanzhi Hotel】
The overall appearance of "Chiayi Guanzhi" is composed of black and gray metal grilles, with irregular and fragmented flips, presenting organic changes in light and shadow through the sunlight. The black and gray color permeates the warmth of the brick red, and the lines of the facade break up the heavy feeling of the old building, presenting a complex form of construction that is both contrasting and in dialogue. The space is designed with metal, stone, exposed concrete and wood as the main axis of the overall design. Compared with the exaggerated and luxurious visual expression, we care more about the essence and characteristics of the materials, and reflect the warmth and simplicity of the earth without excessive modification. Through the semi-covering of iron, wood and glass screens, the movement of people creates fluidity in each space, and the divisions become blurred. Behaviors such as check-in, waiting, dining, and reading become an integrated existence with the material expressions from independent individuals.



– Attractions Introduction –

【Arong's beer duck + roasted cherry duck double feast】
Chef Arong's beer duck is a long-established local shop that has been operating for more than 30 years. The beer soup is endlessly delicious. The red-faced Muscovy duck meat with chewy texture is boiled for ten hours, and the meat is super tender! The chef uses plump red-faced Muscovy ducks and cooks them by hand for three hours every day in order to create a unique delicacy that is different from ordinary soups. Another dish that cannot be missed by the gold medal chef Ah Rong is the roasted cherry duck, which is served with roast duck pancakes and sweet noodle sauce. It is guaranteed to be unforgettable.

【Railway Legend-Beimen Station】
Beimen Station was originally the starting station of the Alishan Forest Railway. It was built in 1884. The station building is entirely made of red cypress, a unique material of Alishan, which is its characteristic. Before it was connected to Chiayi Station of the Longitudinal Railway, this station was the starting point of the Alishan Forest Railway steam train and the freight distribution center of the Alishan Railway. Today, the Alishan Railway no longer transports timber. Beimen Station witnessed the prosperity of the Alishan forestry industry during the logging era and was therefore designated as a historical site by the Chiayi City Government. It has also become a good place for photography enthusiasts and the public to relax and have fun.

【Railway Legend-Yushan Hotel】
The Yushan Hotel building itself has a history of 70 years. It was originally the residence of Mr. Chen Congming and was not converted into a hotel until 1966. It is said that 55 years ago, there were only a few accommodations in Chiayi, and travelers who needed to stay overnight in Chiayi would probably stay at Yushan Hotel, which had a convenient location and could directly take the train after waking up. In those days, many mountain vendors would stay at the Yushan Hotel, so it was also called the "hawker's room" by the locals.

【Railway Legend-Sleeping Forest Theme Park】
The Sleeping Forest is located next to the Beimen Station. It is a fairy tale picture book park created by illustrator "SMART Zhuang Xintong" with the theme of the Sleeping Forest. The protagonists include a series of Q-version animal shapes such as white bears, pink elephants, foxes, owls, penguins, squirrels, etc., combined with the original park environment, making the park more vibrant. All the animals in the park are in a sleeping posture, inviting visitors to relax and daydream together.

【Wenhua Road Night Market】
The Wenhua Road Tourist Night Market is one of the famous attractions in Chiayi City, Taiwan. It is located on a 4,500-meter section of Wenhua Road, south of the Central Square on Minquan Road in Chiayi City and north of the Chuiyang Road Cultural Park. It is a two-lane road during the day and was selected as one of the top ten night markets in Taiwan and one of the new eight scenic spots in Chiayi. The four to five hundred-meter-long Cultural Road is a road during the day and a night market at night. Both sides of the road are lined with delicious snack shops. The popular chicken rice, sausages, rice cake soup, Luoshan rice cake, lotus seed soup, square cakes and other snacks or specialties with modified hometown flavors are not to be missed.

【Miyangxi Bamboo Forest Trail】
The Miyang Creek Trail winds along the Miyang Creek. There are many pavilions along the trail, and the bamboo forest trail is also full of shade, making it a relaxing and enjoyable walk. The north exit is at 66k on Provincial Highway 18, with beautiful scenery, parking lots and toilets. The south exit is next to the Alishan Household Registration Office. Near the exit is the Beast Spring, which is said to be the place where spring water came out in the early days.
Note: If the trail is not open due to the epidemic, you can go to Xiding Eryanping Trail instead.

【Fenqihu Old Street】
Fenchihu is located in Zhonghe Village, Zhuqi Township, Chiayi County, with an altitude of about 1,400 meters. Because it is surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north sides and is low and flat in the middle, it is shaped like a dustpan, so it was formerly called Dustpan Lake. As this area is located at the midpoint of the Alishan Forest Railway, it was famous for its old streets, bento boxes and square bamboo in the early years. At the same time, it also became a gathering place for nearby villages, so the villages gathered near the railway station.
