[2025 Chiayi County Attraction] Travel Guide for Alishan Forest Railway (Updated Apr)

Take advantage of the end of the Alishan cherry blossom season and go up the mountain to enjoy it🌸 Fortunately, it was sunny for two consecutive days☀️ Although some varieties of cherry blossoms in the park have already bloomed and grown green leaves But I saw the blooming cherry blossoms, the Cherry Road, and the Alishan Police Station. The beautiful scenery of Alishan is really beautiful with the white cherry blossoms After enjoying the cherry blossoms, we visited the Giant Wood Walkway in Alishan. Bathing in the forest relaxes the body, mind and soul The next day we got up early and took the sunrise train to Alishan Saw a perfect sunrise under a clear sky 🌅 After watching the sunrise and having breakfast, we took the time to visit the Shuishan Giant Tree Trail. Compared with the Mianyue Line, the distance is much shorter, but you can still experience the feeling of walking on the railway. Alishan is really great when the weather is good!

#2月好去地方2025 📍Location: Alishan National Forest Recreation Area, Chiayi, Taiwan 🕰️Business hours: 24 hours 💞Recommendation reason: After living in the city for a long time, it is also good to go to the forest occasionally to breathe fresh air. Arrive at Alishan early in the morning, take the tourist bus to the Shenmu Park, walk around the sacred trees, and finally take the retro train 🚂 back. #Taiwan #Alishan #Shenmu #Taiwan Attractions

The walk started at 8:20 in the morning and ended at 4:40 in the afternoon. It was the first time in my life that I walked such a long distance (18.4 kilometers round trip), but it was worth it. The scenery along the way was very beautiful. Because the Eye-Moon Line needs to be applied in advance, there are not many people walking on weekdays, so it is very comfortable and relaxing.

Alishan Forest Railway is a forest railway that still exists in Chiayi City, Chiayi County, and Nantou County, Taiwan. It is also used as a means of transportation for tourists visiting Alishan and Yushan. It is also known as the Alishan Mountain Railway. The entire route is designated as a cultural landscape. The Alishan Forest Railway climbs from an elevation of 30 meters above sea level to over 2000 meters. The railway passes through tropical forests up to an elevation of 800 meters, warm temperate forests up to around 1800 meters, and temperate forests up to 3000 meters. The diverse plant distribution, including tropical banyan trees and bamboo, warm temperate camphor and cedar trees, and temperate cypress trees, is one of its features. The beauty of the steep valleys and mountain ranges also adds to the scenic views from the train windows.

Ticket: $100 (from Shenmu Station to Alishan Station) The Alishan Forest Railway is a high mountain forest railway system located in southern Taiwan and is Taiwan's first significant cultural landscape. Most of its routes are within Chiayi City and Chiayi County, but parts of the Zhushan Line are in Xinyi Township, Nantou County. The railway was originally constructed during the Japanese colonial period to transport timber from the Alishan forest. After the logging operations ended, passenger transport and tourism became the railway's primary functions. The entire system mainly consists of a main line starting from Chiayi Station in Chiayi City and ending at Alishan Station in Alishan Township, Chiayi County, along with numerous branch lines spread throughout the Alishan mountain area. Currently, the sections open for passenger transport include the main line and parts of the Shenmu Line, Zhaoping Line, and the Zhushan Line, which was built for sunrise viewing. I only took the forest railway from Shenmu Station to Alishan Station, a journey of about 7 minutes, to experience the feel of the small train and take some photos as a memento. **You can join a one-day tour on Trip.com and pay with Trip coins.**

#Taiwan Local Tour Alishan Forest Train-Shenmu Station Alishan Railway Station is a two-story wooden building. The main structure is very beautiful. I love wood, especially the design inside the platform. It's really photogenic! There are Zhushan Line, Zhuoping Line and Shenmu Line in Alishan. Zhushan Line only runs once a day for watching the sunrise, while Shenmu Line and Zhuoping Line run every half hour. Since we still wanted to experience the forest train, we chose to take it to Shenmu Station. As a result, the weather became very bad when we arrived at Shenmu Station. It kept raining. The Shenmu area must be wet and slippery, so we had to give up walking. So we enjoyed the forest bath and phytoncides in the rain in Shenmu District, and then took the next train back to Alishan Station~#Good place for parents and children

#TaiwanTravel If you come to visit Alishan, I recommend a delicious restaurant. There are 2 floors of seating. The restaurant offers a set of Shabu hot pot + 5 dishes. I don't remember the price very well, but it's around 1200-1500 NTD. There were 4 of us. All the dishes were delicious. As for the rice, you can refill it as much as you want. You can help yourself. This is a restaurant that really impresses with the taste of the food here. The restaurant is also decorated warmly, small, and cute.
