Alishan Forest Railway Depot Park

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.

The good points were the train's facilities, the train schedule, the music and dancing at intermediate stations, the content of the light meal, and the chopsticks that could be taken away. Areas for improvement were the condition of the tracks [the shaking could be reduced], the need to be informed of the details immediately after ordering and payment, the need to make it possible to communicate in English or Japanese for passengers who do not understand Chinese [Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese], the insufficient bus information after disbanding at the crossroads, and the fact that the commemorative ticket was a dull one that was not worth keeping as a souvenir, unlike the wonderful ones for regular trains. When I asked where I could purchase the book that had been on display from the beginning until just before the meal, I couldn't get an immediate answer, but I received the correct information and purchased it the next day.

Well informed by the travel agent on 2D1N activities. Both drivers were friendly, introduce the past history and culture around Alishan. The tour guide was knowledgeable whom brought us around Alishan forest to learn more on trees and history for 2.5 hours was good too. The hotel was clean and comfortable.
