– 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 –

【Railway Legend ~ Tefuno Ancient Road】
The total length is 6.32 kilometers (enter from Zhong entrance, turn back at 3.7K). It was an old hunting trail for the Northern Tsou people in the early days. During the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese built a railway (the old Shuishan Line waterway) along this ancient road in order to cut down and transport the rich red cypress and hinoki cypress in the Alishan area. Although it is no longer used for transporting materials, the old railway tracks, plank roads and old cypress bridges are still left for future generations to reminisce about the old scenery.
The entrance to the Tefuye Historic Trail is located next to Zizhong Road at 97K on the new Central Cross-Island Highway, which is the former site of Zizhong Station. Looking east from here, you can see the majestic appearance of Yushan Main Peak, Yushan North Peak, and Beibei Peak, and the scenery is superb. The front section of the ancient trail is an endless forest of Metasequoia glyptostroboides, with each tree towering, vigorous and majestic. At 1K, you can see the remains of the Shuishan Line railway. At 1.5K, there is an open valley. On the hillside, there is a sturdy tree - the relict plant Kunlan tree. Here you can enjoy the mountain scenery, listen to the gurgling water, and enjoy the sunshine shining into the valley. An old railway trestle is preserved at 2.2K, all testimony to the once prosperous logging days.

【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.

【Suantouzhecheng Cultural Park】
The Suantou Sugarcane Town Cultural Park is planned to have five major features, namely sugar industry, railway, historical buildings, Wufenche, and humanities. The century-old sugar-making machinery in the Wufenche Town Cultural Park and the wooden employee dormitories built since the Japanese colonial era are places where people can experience Japanese style. The long row of wooden employee dormitories alleys allow you to enjoy the Japanese sentiment.

[Bantao Kiln ~ Jiaozhi Jiannian Craft Park]
The Bantao Kiln Park and Bantou Art Village, through community building, drive the development of local tourism industry and generate economic benefits. The creation of community art walls allows craftsmen to give back to their hometown by bringing back traditional Jiaozhi and Jiannian techniques, thereby enhancing the beauty of the environment, improving the quality of life of residents and making them feel happier. Local crafts can also tell community stories, allowing residents to increase opportunities for communication and enhance relationships.

【Five-year Chitose Park ~ Taiwan's tallest colorful rainbow bridge】
Located in Ma Ming Village, Baozhong Township, Yunlin County, Zhen'an Temple has a history of more than 300 years. It is a popular temple dedicated to the Five Kings. Since there are 12 deities in total and their birthdays are different, for the convenience of worship, a comprehensive worship is held on the 29th day of the 10th lunar month. A grand ceremony is held every five years, called "Five Years to Year" or "Five Years to Examination", which includes activities such as Jianjiao and burning the king's boat. The architectural carvings of Zhen'an Palace are very delicate. The hall is divided into three sections, with many antiques, especially ancient plaques, which present a special simplicity and elegance. Directly in front of the temple are Jingfu Gate, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Park, Ci'en Garden, Malone Mountain and other landscapes. The garden design is rich and elegant, with rockery and strange stones, fountains and pools, various animal statues, the Guanyin Buddha, etc., and various pavilions scattered around. Malone Mountain is a small hill formed by sea reefs. On the top of the hill there is a bronze statue of an animal that looks like a dragon and a horse, symbolizing Malone. If you climb up to the top, you can overlook the Yunlin Plain and the panoramic view of Zhen'an Temple in the distance, with an excellent view.
