We drive from the hotel in Chaiyi to the bus station. The bus isn't the newest, and the diesel engine sounds a bit asthmatic, but it does its job flawlessly.
From just above sea level, the bus winds its way up, bend after bend.
After 2.5 hours, through dense rainforest and breathtaking views, we reach our destination, Alisan National Park …

A very special experience is the journey by train to Alishan National Park, which is filled with cypresses that are up to 2,000 years old 👍👍👍👍 Even a rainy day can't spoil this impressive sight! We returned to our quarters, a small tea plantation, very wet but blown away 😎
