Product Info
— Attraction Introduction —
Depart from the convenient Taichung city center and start a hassle-free short trip in a comfortable private vehicle. We will take you to visit the hottest photo spot - the Mianyue Line. The Mianyue Line was originally developed by the Japanese government to transport giant trees logged from the mountains. Later, to promote tourism, old steam trains were used to carry passengers starting in 1983, which caused a huge sensation among railway fans both domestically and internationally. The Mianyue Line is one of the branch lines of the Alishan Forest Railway, starting at Alishan New Station and ending at Shihou Station, with a total length of '9.2 km', passing through '24 bridges and 12 tunnels' along the way.
