Alishan

Alishan feels like a misty mountain sanctuary where ancient cypress forests, rolling tea plantations, and sunrise seas of clouds create a dreamlike alpine landscape. Wooden railways wind through towering trees, cherry blossoms bloom in spring, and cool mountain air carries the scent of cedar and fresh tea leaves. Long home to the Tsou Indigenous community, Alishan holds deep cultural roots alongside its natural beauty. Unlike Taiwan’s fast-paced cities, Alishan moves at a slow, elevated rhythm. Mornings begin above drifting cloud layers, afternoons unfold along forest trails and scenic viewpoints, and evenings settle into crisp mountain silence. Located in Chiayi County in central Taiwan, Alishan is known for cool climates, heritage railways, and panoramic highland scenery.
