The location is a bit remote, but the surrounding area is very quiet and the scenery is beautiful. You can ride bicycles and take boats in the park, or bring your own ingredients for barbecue or hot pot (portable stove only). The deluxe double room has a bathroom and skylight, but unfortunately the weather was not good and we couldn't see the stars, which was a bit of a pity. Overall, it was clean.
Some people might misunderstand just by reading the title, but the train ride is only on the second floor of the branch line between Alishan Station and Zhuping Station, and between Shenmu Station and Alishan Station. Round trip travel between Chiayi and Alishan Station is by car. (The journey between Zhuping and Shenmu is by foot.) However, the driver/guide is fluent in Japanese, so I highly recommend it.
The driver, Chan Shi Wai, was very responsible. The seats were comfortable and clean. The team worked seamlessly to ensure the safety of all passengers. It was a very fulfilling day when we got to Alishan
