About this experience

Step into the enchanting world of Alishan Forest Recreation Area, where misty mountains and ancient woodlands create one of Taiwan’s most breathtaking escapes. This famed highland retreat is home to the legendary “Five Wonders” — the dazzling sunrise over rolling peaks, the ethereal sea of clouds drifting between valleys, the golden glow of sunset, the serene beauty of sacred cypress forests, and the nostalgic charm of the forest railway.

Stroll along peaceful walking paths shaded by towering trees, ride the historic narrow-gauge train through lush greenery, or find the perfect vantage point to watch nature’s daily spectacles unfold. With crisp alpine air and a tranquil atmosphere, Alishan is an ideal place to slow down and reconnect with nature.

For a flavorful touch to your visit, upgrade to the Fenchihu Railway Lunchbox package and savor a traditional set meal once enjoyed by railway travelers.
