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.
This April trip to Alishan is truly worth recommending! Xiao Jiang is not only a professional tour guide but also a meticulous driver, driving safely and politely, making the journey worry-free. He thoughtfully helped take photos, and his photography skills are superb, ensuring beautiful memories of the trip. Although it was cloudy that day and we couldn't see the sunrise, Xiao Jiang cleverly arranged for us to admire the blooming cherry blossoms and the natural scenery of the forest park, providing clear and vivid explanations that were thoroughly enjoyable. Lunch was also a delicious and authentic local meal. The entire trip was full of surprises and heartwarming moments, making it unforgettable and definitely worth recommending to anyone wanting a more in-depth Alishan experience!
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.
The space is very comfortable. There are six dessert items and an ice cream. The ice cream spoon is made of seashell material, so you can take it home as a souvenir. There are also stamped postcards. The design is very nice. You can get off twice along the way to explore the area. I highly recommend visiting the Farmers' Association when you go to Toucheng.
The trip was organised so well, to ensure we had the most time in Alishan our driver rearranged the stops a little. Which was great. It rained all day, but this didn’t dampen spirits. The area is amazing no matter what the weather holds. Lunch was great and the communication from the organisers before hand was perfect.
