Alishan - more than the train and sunrise.

---

One of the most famous destinations in Taiwan often disappoints. Thankfully there is much more to the area than the small-gage railway lines and the 'Ooh, look at the sunrise'. Make your required visit here more than a Starbucks coffee overlooking an at-altitude car park, and a fight to be at the front of the sunrise crowd.

Tea plantations, sunsets, sunrises, hikes...

The historical narrow-gage railway winding its way up switchbacks is a must do. Unfortunately it leaves you restricted in where you can go beyond the train-line and the rather over-commercialized resort at the end. Or trips bring you one way (up or down the mountain) by van stopping as you wish for easy hikes in pristine forest and tea plantations. Once settled in your hotel we can bring you several kilometers away to Tatajia (Tataka) in Yushan National Park for the usually stunning sunset over a sea of clouds. In the morning, instead of going with the masses to the standard sunrise spot in the resort you may come back to the National Park for a more serene event! Various, tame to strenuous, hiking options available.
