Itinerary Intro
Danaiko Suspension Bridge, located within the Danaiko Natural Ecological Park in Alishan Township, is a serene escape known as the "Valley of No Regrets." The bridge spans 228 meters and rises 30 meters above the converging streams below. A scenic 20-minute walk from the park entrance brings you to this majestic suspension bridge. Visitors are rewarded with panoramic views of clear mountain streams, forested cliffs, and the valley carved over eons. The area also features indigenous cultural performances, a farmer’s market, and traditional tribal cuisine—perfect for combining nature with cultural immersion.
Fenqihu Old Street is set in a mountainous town of Chiayi, about 1,405 meters above sea level, and features a historic stone-paved walkway lined with old wooden shops, lunchbox vendors, and teahouses—it feels like stepping back in time. Originally a pre-railway settlement, the area evolved into a key stop on the Alishan Forest Railway. Today, it’s celebrated for its nostalgic ambiance, iconic lunchboxes, and cultural charm.
Set in Chiayi’s Alishan Township at approximately 2,200 meters above sea level and covering 1,400 hectares, the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is one of Taiwan’s most iconic nature destinations. It is famed for the “Five Wonders”: the forest railway, ancient sacred trees, sea of clouds, sunrise vistas, and evening glow—alongside cherry blossoms, rhododendrons, and rich cultural heritage.
Alishan’s Giant Tree Boardwalk Trails offer a serene forest promenade through towering cypress giants on an elevated wooden boardwalk. Spanning just over 1 km combined, the trails feature about 36 ancient cypress trees—some over 30 meters tall and centuries old. Key highlights include the majestic “Tree No. 28,” the misty “Shenyi Waterfall,” and the historic Shenmu Train Station—a peaceful, nature-immersive stroll suitable for all ages.
