Alishan

Alishan is a small mountain resort which has become synonymous with the view of sunrise over the ‘sea of clouds' which ring Mt Jade. A visit to the summit of nearby Chushan or Tatajia mountains to see the spectacular sunrise is a prerequisite for anybody visiting Alishan, but the surrounding area is also great for hiking trails and, for many, taking the Alishan forest train along it's narrow-gauge tracks is one of the highlights of their whole trip. Alishan can get extremely busy with domestic tourists during the Cherry Blossom Festival which happens each year in March or April.
