  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
The Alishan Forest Recreation Area invites visitors to explore Taiwan’s stunning mountain scenery. Walking through ancient cypress and cedar forests, travellers can enjoy fresh air and peaceful trails surrounded by towering trees. A ride on the historic Alishan Forest Railway offers unique perspectives of the landscape. Highlights include sunrise viewing, the sea of clouds, and cherry blossoms in spring. Scenic wooden paths lead to ponds, sacred trees, and panoramic viewpoints perfect for photography. Visitors can also experience indigenous Tsou culture and taste world-famous Alishan tea.

Fenqi Hu Old Street

  • 1h
Fenqihu, a charming mountain town along the historic Alishan Forest Railway, offers both cultural charm and natural beauty. Known as the “Jiufen of Alishan,” its nostalgic streets are lined with traditional wooden houses, tea shops, and old bakeries. Visitors can wander the quaint alleys, discover local crafts, and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Lunch is on your own, but the famous Fenqihu Railway Bento is highly recommended—a hearty box meal once prepared for train passengers, featuring savoury meats, vegetables, and rice that capture the flavours of Taiwan’s railway heritage. Surrounded by misty mountains and bamboo forests, Fenqihu also provides hiking opportunities with trails leading to scenic viewpoints and tranquil landscapes. A stroll here blends history, food, and nature, making it an essential stop before heading deeper into Alishan.
