Perhaps the most famous of all attractions in Taiwan, Alishan, or Mount 'Ali', is a mountaineous area that is well-known for the iconic Alishan Forest Railway, completed by the Japanese in 1912. In April this year, a friend and I made the journey up the breathtaking scenic area.
How to go: Take the HSR or TRA in to Chiayi. We took a bus from Chiayi TRA station direct to Alishan, cost was about NT$212 per person one way. The bus station is directly in from of the TRA station. Ignore the cab drivers who try to get you on their cab to go up to Alishan, it will cost about $1600 via cab.
