Ah-Ji, who provides private car service and acts as a professional tour guide, calls himself the Alishan Prince and the Sunny Doll 🤣 We thought we wouldn't see the sunrise because of the rain, but when we arrived at our destination, the weather cleared up and we saw a beautiful sea of clouds and sunrise. Ah-Ji provided commentary and guidance throughout the trip, and answered our questions immediately. He was very professional, and his photography skills were also professional-level 👍🏻 Highly recommended!
The entire cypress wood carriage perfectly embodies Taiwanese values. The tour leader is also excellent, and the meals are exquisite. I would recommend it to friends and family. The whole journey is very relaxing, immersing you in the phytoncides of the forest.
There were two stops along the way, and we received sightseeing information. The snack set was delicious. The train was very clean. The only downside was that since I was traveling with my son, we had to share a seat. Overall, it was enjoyable.
Boarding at Chiayi Railway Station is very convenient, the seats are comfortable, and there are rest stops along the way where passengers can easily access the restrooms.
The accommodation, meals, tickets, driver pick-up and drop-off, and tour guide explanations were all handled very well, and the itinerary flowed smoothly. It would have been perfect if it hadn't rained.
This was my first solo trip to Alishan, Taiwan. To avoid the hassle of transportation, I booked this small group tour.
The experience was great. We visited Fenqihu Railway Station, Fenqihu Old Street, rode the Alishan Forest Railway, and saw the Sister Lakes. Unfortunately, we encountered a torrential downpour.
The itinerary was fast-paced, the scenery on the mountain was beautiful, and the tour members included Japanese and Hong Kong people.
