Alishan Sunrise B&B

We did not get to see sunrise because it was misty but the room was very cozy and nicely suited up. It'll be a little far without personal transportation, otherwise it's quite worthwhile for the comfy stay. 7-11 is just outside main road and riding to Alishan entrance was about 35km. The only unpleasantness was not so great check-in experience with the landlady.

View was amazing, beyond expectations. But location wise, hard to get around. At the foot of the walkway is Hotel Indigo, but the walk up is crazy with tons of spiders over one's head. Bus stop is LongTouPing which only have 2 bus to FenQiHu daily. One at 1057H and another at 1330H (estimated from bus service website). We waited in the cold for 40mins to get on the bus. Uber was also not available which made it hard. We were at the Bnb at about 1440H and was told that we cannot check in because it was not 1500H yet. And we're in the cold. But host told us to go walk around. He also sounded very irritated when i want to check with him on the transportation to get around, cutting me in and insist to listen before i even can finish my question. When we were there it was foggy, so we causally mentioned we will skip the sunset, of course, were told off "you come here never witness sunset?! Dont make any sense. You cannot tell people you've been to Alishan then" We returned for check-in first and only to be interrupted by another group to check in. Who gets their keys and briefing first despite us reaching first, and it deems to us that he was not as friendly to us comparing to others. Anyway, room does not come with heater and hot water is limited. Halfway through showers, only have got cold water. Breakfast was cold too. We came out at 8:30 for breakfast, and there was not much options left. Room appear to be nice but drainage issue is a problem.

Stayed there for 2 nights, did not managed to catch the sunrise as the clouds were too thick. If you are there to get away from the city life, the place will be great, only setback is the location. If you are on roller luggage you probably want to think twice. Even if the luggage is not heavy but the slope is steep. So unless you are travelling by car, it is not advisable to stay there unless you are super fit. The owner wife design the place on her own. She also made very nice and cute stuff, interesting place. they also sell organic black fungus. If you are there for breakfast try it. The plants there are so beautiful too. Enjoy if you are there.

The room is so cute. Suppose you want to have a peaceful place to watch the sunrise. They have a perfect place for all the travelers. I just have a few issues staying here. The location is a little bit far from the bus stop. It's like you need to hike just to go up there. I didn’t expect the long walk carrying all my luggage. I struggle a lot. They didn’t also offer to fetch you from the bus stop.

It would be better if they can improve the breakfast.

A very cosy b&b, sadly unable to catch the sunrise due to foggy weather
