Alishan National Forest Recreation Area

Address: No. 59, Zhongzheng Village, Alishan Township, Chiayi County Business Hours: 24 hours Visitor Service Center: 08:00 - 17:00 Ticket: $300 Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is located in Chiayi County. The park boasts five unique sceneries: the forest railway, sacred trees, sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset. It is one of the most famous and popular forest recreation areas in Taiwan, shining like a dazzling gem in the Alishan mountain range. The Alishan mountain range is one of Taiwan's five major mountain ranges. Alishan is not a single mountain but refers to the entire area. Historically, it was rich in cypress resources, and from 1912 to 1960, it was Taiwan's largest logging site. After extensive logging, the original cypress forest was almost entirely cut down. Today, there are nearly forty giant red cypress trees along the first and second phase giant tree boardwalks, reminding visitors of the grandeur and sacredness of the past sacred tree forest. In addition to the sacred trees, Alishan has many other attractions: the forest railway, the ethereal Sisters Ponds, the magnificent sea of clouds, the beautiful Zhushan sunrise, Shouzhen Temple, the century-old Ciyun Temple, forestry historical sites, and various cherry blossoms and rhododendrons blooming in spring. The Alishan Forest Recreation Area is an international-level tourist attraction representing Taiwan's foggy forest belt, welcoming travelers from around the world to explore the rich and beautiful landscapes of Taiwan's mountains and forests. **Booking hotels on Trip.com not only earns Trip coins but also allows you to use Trip coins.**
