Along the way, stopover at Fenchihu, just like how passengers and train personnel of the old Alishan forest trains would do. You will feel as if you have travelled back in time as you stroll along Fenchihu Old Street, where you will see many shops within old buildings selling nostalgic merchandise. Understand why Fenchihu was one of the largest and most important railway stations of Alishan Forest Railway at the historic Fenchihu Railway Station. Thereafter, arrive at Alishan National Scenic Area, where you will proceed to the famous Sister Lakes that encompasses a tragic folktale.

Furthermore, enjoy the Tsou people’s dance and music through a captivating and stunning live performance. In Taiwan, it is always tea time.

Then, make a stop at Painted Animation Lane, a small alleyway featuring colourful paintings of nostalgic anime and cartoon characters.
