This trip was fantastic. Here are some tips and suggestions: 1. The hotel pick-up and drop-off service near the high-speed rail station was very convenient. 2. The driver on the way there explained everything very clearly. 3. A big thank you to our driver, Mr. Black Sesame, for helping us find a better luggage storage option, saving us a lot of time. 4. The hotel was in a great location, very close to everything. 5. The tour guide spoke very clearly, ensuring everyone could hear him, and even helped take photos! 6. However, the tour guide walked a bit fast, and some people had difficulty keeping up.
We had an excellent experience on the Alishan tour. The itinerary was well planned, allowing us to enjoy the scenic mountain views, forests, and iconic Alishan highlights without feeling rushed.
The guide, Mr. Katsu (卡子)called everyone one day before tour to make sure we arrive at the right place. He was knowledgeable, professional, energetic and attentive, providing clear explanations about the history, nature, and culture of Alishan while ensuring everyone stayed on schedule. Timing at each stop was thoughtfully managed, giving us enough time for photos and appreciation of the surroundings. Moreover, he took ~100 photo for us and even make us a video.
Overall, this 1-day tour was very well run and offered great value. I would highly recommend the Alishan tour to anyone looking for a convenient, enjoyable, and memorable way to experience this beautiful region.
Alishan National Forest Recreation Area tickets CP value is good, buying tickets will give small gifts, quite thoughtful. And e-tickets are very convenient, mobile phones can do it all, no need to queue up to exchange tickets. Once inside, you can enjoy the sunrise, the sea of clouds and the forest of sacred trees, which is great for photography and hiking. Friends who like nature must try it, the ticket price is reasonable, recommended!
No need to exchange cards; the driver simply scans the QR code with his phone to board. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and the driver's skills are superb!
