山嵐號縱谷旬味觀光列車套票｜車票＆中文導覽＆特色餐點

Overall, a good experience.

It was a peaceful and memorable experience. As the train winds slowly through mountains and forests, the scenery feels almost dreamlike. The seats arrangement with a large windows allow us to fully enjoy the changing landscapes, from rush greenery to charming rural views. The ride is smooth and unhurried, perfect for travelers who want to relax and connect with nature. The bento and dessert were nicely prepared and the taste was delicious! Overall, the Shan Lan train is not just transportation, but a scenic journey that captures Taiwan’s natural beauty and tranquil spirit.

The price is a bit high, but it's still worth experiencing. The itinerary stops at two stations and includes guided tours and walking tours. Overall, it's pretty good.

The Shanlan bus offers more food options, so it's a bit more expensive than the Haifeng bus. The itinerary from Changhua to Tainan is well-planned. Upon boarding, passengers are served snacks and tea (a unique sparkling honey-scented black tea, which I personally found delicious). The first stop is Shetou, where we started by eating guava and drinking guava leaf tea. The township head explained why Shetou is known for its socks and guava, followed by a tour from Lion Travel, who explained the history of Shetou. The Tongren Society outside the station has historical exhibits, displays of old-fashioned family-made stocking machines, and various stamps from different regions. After a short ride, we arrived at the second stop, Ershui, where local cultural and tourism workers provided a guided tour, quickly giving us a glimpse into Ershui's history. It seemed that Ershui produced many wealthy individuals in the past. There was also an introduction from Changhua Agricultural Rice & Grain Company (Changhua Agricultural Rice & Grain Company's name signifies showcasing the beauty of agriculture). Next, from Ershui to Tainan, we enjoyed some rather upscale bento boxes while admiring the beautiful scenery along the way. We made a brief stop at Chiayi Station (to allow faster trains to proceed), during which an announcement introduced the station. Before reaching Tainan, there was an announcement introducing the Chianan Plain, and announcements before the two previous stops also provided information. The snack information standees, bento menus, and tableware were all included as souvenirs, and overall, I was quite satisfied with the trip.

The seats on the Shanlan train are comfortable, facing directly towards the window, allowing you to enjoy your meal while admiring the beautiful scenery outside – a truly pleasant experience. The staff on board are friendly and helpful. At the stops along the way, you can get off and explore, and there are also guided tours available.

This itinerary included two stops for sightseeing. The Ashe bento boxes were eye-catching and delicious, and the staff were friendly and polite. Next time, I'll take the Hualien-Taitung Line again for even more soothing scenery.

This was my first experience with a style unlike any other Taiwan Railways train. Stepping into the carriage felt like embarking on a railway journey abroad. The comfortable and relaxing atmosphere made it perfect for a weekend trip to discover the beauty of Taiwan.

A leisurely train journey with delicious food – a great train experience.

The train was very clean. The staff were all very friendly. The bento boxes were also perfect. I spent a leisurely afternoon, quietly savoring the charm of Taiwan.

However, the time allotted for day trips was limited; I hope that next time we can arrange more diverse activities.
