February still has some unstable weather due to the northeast monsoon, with thick cloud cover. Unfortunately, we only saw a sliver of dawn during the sunrise trip. However, seeing the sacred tree in person during another part of the trip was truly unforgettable.

A budget-friendly trip can allow you to experience the beauty of Alishan. If the weather is good, you can enjoy the sunrise, sea of clouds, railway, and forest all at once. However, it's recommended to clean the upper luggage racks thoroughly as they tend to be dusty.

I stumbled upon this overnight bus tour, which takes you to Alishan in the early morning. Surprisingly, quite a few other people were also taking this bus. No wonder it only runs once a week; it's perfect for people used to long-distance buses. Arriving around 3 AM, I had to rest at Alishan Station (which was also crowded). For the sunrise viewing tour, there's a separate bus to Zizhong (the starting point of the Tofuno Ancient Trail). This dedicated scenic spot isn't as crowded, and compared to the two separate trains to Zhushan for sunrise viewing, it was much quieter to enjoy the sunrise. The entire itinerary was well-planned.

Alishan is beautiful, but it's very cold to watch the sunrise in November; you'll need to wear a down jacket. Remember to bring a neck pillow when taking the bus. The cakes upstairs at the transfer station are delicious. Some drivers smoke in front of the 7-Eleven and at the sunrise waiting area, but they weren't with our group 😠

The Kuo-Kuang Bus driver was friendly and helpful. Upon arriving in Alishan, we were greeted by a sky full of stars. It was quite chilly in Alishan at dawn, so bring an extra jacket. The weather was great the next morning, and the driver perfectly predicted the sunrise time, allowing us to witness the sunrise as if an egg yolk were leaping out from Yushan. I highly recommend this tour.

It was my first time to visit Alishan. The bus ride there and back took about 6 hours, which was quite tiring, but the weather was clear and the sunrise was beautiful and moving! The natural beauty of Alishan was truly amazing. I definitely want to go back again.

The time arrangement was perfect. We could take a break at Alishan Forest Recreation Area and then buy some hot food at 7-11 to replenish our energy and prepare for the sunrise the next day.

The tour guide was great and absorbed a lot of information about Alishan. The sunrise and the sacred tree were great.

There are cypress sunrise glasses to protect your eyes, which is a great experience.

The itinerary did not include taking the sunrise train to see the sunrise, but arranged another spot. It was a pity that we did not take the sunrise train, but we did see the sunrise this time, which was really great! The tour guide Xiao Cai is great! He also enthusiastically recommended itineraries to us!
