EXPLORE A-Li-Shan NATIONAL SCENIC AREA, TAIWAN – PART 1

The Alishan National Scenic Area is a natural preservation mountain resort located in Chiayi, Taiwan. It is one of most visited tourist spots of the country. Though it is far from Taipei, it really lets you get back to nature. After all, that was the main purpose of our travel.

Since the park covered an enormous ground, you may explore it in 3 ways:

1. BY BUS --

This is the map to the forest, and that's it, I can't explain no further. Hahaha

Since we didn’t know which way to go, we had to take the park bus. The driver dropped us off in the middle of the forest, well not per se, hahaha! He said we can walk from there and enjoy the views.

This is the park's shuttle bus. They will drive off even if there's only 2 or 4 passengers.

There are other tourists you can follow if you’re concern on getting lost. Though, make sure you have the same destination.


2. BY TRAIN --

This is the entrance to the train station. Those are tourists from other countries taking pictures.

This is far by the most expensive means of exploration. Though, it has more stations to choose from. Some suggested on visiting Fenchihu.

This is the train's map.

This is not a suicidal photo. Hahaha

3. BY FOOT --

Although there were easy means of exploring, most tourists preferred walking, enjoying the cool breeze, and taking a looot of pictures.

You will be given a map before you enter the park, so it can help you get to your desired destination. The only setback here is if you get lost. You need to speak in Chinese to converse with other people otherwise you’ll have a hard time finding your out way.

What I recommend is to take a bus to get you inside the park, then walk your way out, it’s much easier and fun that way. Besides, it’ll be too tiring if you walk your way in and out of the park, you won’t get to enjoy much of the views because your too tired.

Hope this helps you on your Alishan Park Adventure.
