Alishan 1-Day Self-Guided Tour: Sunrise, Sea of Clouds, and Sacred Trees Sightseeing (Departure from Taipei) | Chiayi, Taiwan

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!

This time I was lucky enough to enjoy the sunrise, sea of clouds and sacred trees. I was so happy! After departing from Taipei at 20:45, the Kuo-Kuang Express will stop at a 7-11 where you can use the restroom, buy groceries, and get hot water. Arrive at the Alishan Transfer Station at 2:10, pass the Alishan Forest Recreation Area ticket office, enter the park, and pass by a public toilet. You can first walk to the gathering place of the visitor center to check the location. There is a public toilet on the right and a seat in front. Then I walked around and found many seats and lights nearby. There were many people buying food and eating at the 7-11, and there were seats in front. Find a bright and quiet seat to rest, set the alarm, keep your head to toes and hands warm to avoid hypothermia, take a short nap, get up and go to the toilet at the gathering place to wait for the bus. There are public toilets and agricultural products for sale at the sunrise viewing area, and guided tours are available. Agricultural specialties are also sold at the Lulin Shenmu parking lot. It was awesome that we happened to encounter the sacred moth in the forest park to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Xuantian! The park has a tour bus that you can buy tickets for and use to save energy. On the way back, we stopped at Chiayi Transfer Station to use the restroom and go shopping, ending a wonderful day and night.

There was a small flaw in the entire itinerary arrangement, because the itinerary was arranged for a nine-seater car and the time was 6 o'clock in the morning, which was in time for the sunrise on the same day. However, it took three hours from the time I got off the Kuo-Kuang Express to the time the train arrived. I saw that the first Zhushan Line sunrise-watching train had already left, and there was only one person waiting for the train in the entire passenger service center. In fact, I do have some small worries in my heart.

You need enough warm clothes and heating pack! It will be really cold waiting at the tourist center.

Want to go to Alishan? Only one person? No problem. KKday will help you buy a ticket without too much hesitation! It’s very convenient and free. I really recommend it! The Guoguanghao car is very comfortable to sit in and has a charging stand, so you don’t have to worry about your phone running out of battery!

The bus time told by the driver was very accurate. When we arrived at Alishan at 4 o'clock, we were dazzled by the bright starry sky as soon as we got off the bus! There were enough street lights and there were so many tourists that we were not afraid of getting lost! At the designated time, we boarded the sun-viewing bus. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and we saw the sacred trees. The nature was so beautiful that it was a satisfying day to be in awe! recommend

It's great to see the sunrise it's not just a little more of

very good......................

This is my first time to Alishan. The driver of Guoguang Passenger Transport is very enthusiastic and answers passengers’ questions enthusiastically. He is one of the few people who have met such a nice and friendly driver. The driver who received me when I arrived in Alishan was also very professional. Everyone will share little knowledge about Alishan. The environment inside the car is also very clean and has a faint scent of cypress. I am very happy to see the sunrise as scheduled and take a lot of beautiful scenery👍🏻

The tour is very interesting and a novel experience. You must try it if you have the chance.
