2025 Chiayi County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum is located in Taibao, Chiayi, and is also known as the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum. The museum officially opened in December 2015 and covers an area of ​​70 hectares. It is positioned as an "Asian Art and Culture Museum." In order to achieve the concept of north-south balance, the hospital operates with "north-south balance, cultural enrichment" as its starting point. There are two ponds, Zhide and Zhishan, in the campus, as well as a waterfront stage, artificial wetlands and tropical gardens. The museum changes its exhibition themes from time to time, and lantern festivals and fireworks shows have been held outside the museum. We also hope that this place will not only target Asia, but also look to the world so that tourists from other regions can come to Taiwan to appreciate the world-class cultural relics exhibitions here.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Meiling Art Museum is located in Chiayi Puzi Art Park. The museum was completed in 1995 on the 100th birthday of Mr. Wu Meiling. Mr. Wu Meiling devoted his life to promoting art education and his students are all over the world. The first and second floors of the art museum are exhibition halls, and there is also an exhibition room dedicated to introducing Mr. Wu Meiling's life. The art gallery also holds art exhibitions of different styles from time to time. Because the museum is located in the park, the environment is quite quiet and it is a good place to relax on weekdays or holidays.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Before climbing the Meishan Taiping Ladder, you must take Jia County Road 162 and pass through the famous "Meishan 36 Bends" to reach the destination. The Taiping Ladder was opened for operation in 2017. Taiping Cloud Ladder is currently the highest cloud ladder in Taiwan, with an altitude of 1,000 meters and a length of 281 meters. When the weather is good, the entire Chia-Nan Plain can be seen. When the lights come on at night, it is also the best place to watch the lights of thousands of homes. There are misty clouds on the ladder. The sun may be shining one minute and it may be foggy the next second, as if you are in a fairyland. The Taiping Ladder is also a Meishan scenic spot as famous as the Old Street. After getting off the ladder, continue to move towards the Old Street.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Just hearing the name makes people feel that this is a very ethereal place. The Air Library store located in Meishan, Chiayi is as its name suggests. This is not a real library but the interior decoration is as comfortable and charming as a library. This is a restaurant. The entire dining space is quite clean. In addition to the library-like design and planning, the embellishment of green plants adds a lot to the overall feeling of the interior. Because of this, this place is always packed with guests, especially during holidays when it is hard to get a seat. There are also tourists who come to the library specifically to take photos and check in because they are attracted by its literary and artistic forest-style decorations.

Take advantage of the end of the Alishan cherry blossom season and go up the mountain to enjoy it🌸 Fortunately, it was sunny for two consecutive days☀️ Although some varieties of cherry blossoms in the park have already bloomed and grown green leaves But I saw the blooming cherry blossoms, the Cherry Road, and the Alishan Police Station. The beautiful scenery of Alishan is really beautiful with the white cherry blossoms After enjoying the cherry blossoms, we visited the Giant Wood Walkway in Alishan. Bathing in the forest relaxes the body, mind and soul The next day we got up early and took the sunrise train to Alishan Saw a perfect sunrise under a clear sky 🌅 After watching the sunrise and having breakfast, we took the time to visit the Shuishan Giant Tree Trail. Compared with the Mianyue Line, the distance is much shorter, but you can still experience the feeling of walking on the railway. Alishan is really great when the weather is good! Recommended The following is a 2-day 1-night itinerary: DAY1: Enter Alishan Park at 1:00 pm -> Cherry King -> Giant Trees Plank Road -> Overnight at Shenmu Hotel DAY2: 4:30 am, go out to Alishan Station to take the sunrise train -> 6:15 sunrise, take the train back to Alishan Station at about 6:30 -> 7:30 breakfast -> 8:50 Shuishan Giant Tree Trail + Shuishan Healing Trail -> 10:30 check out and go down the mountain #Chiayi Cherry Blossoms #Alishan #Shenmu #Sunrise

Let's go hiking at Fenqihu in Alishan! This time, we're challenging Datong Mountain, one of Taiwan's minor hundred peaks. We chose to start from the Dinghu parking lot, first passing by Guanyin Stone and a tea plantation. Against the backdrop of good weather, blooming cherry blossoms adorn the forest, making it quite beautiful. Our hiking destination is the triangular observation deck of Datong Mountain. The route is a loop, so we don't retrace our steps, taking about 2 hours. Since we start at an altitude of 1500 meters, combined with long and steep slopes, we were out of breath after just a few steps! Fortunately, the trail is filled with the phytoncides of cedar forests, the air is fresh, and the greenery is abundant. The trail conditions are good, and we adapted quickly. Since it was a Monday, there were very few hikers, allowing us to enjoy the observation deck under the blue sky without having to queue, and the view was fantastic! The trail down is mostly stairs, steep but in good condition. With good weather and dry paths, it was quite friendly to hike. Wandering between the cedar and bamboo forests was truly refreshing. The other side of the Datong Mountain trail leads to Duolin, another trail to Pilishan Mountain, with similar difficulty. If you have the stamina, you can give it a try.

Alishan in Chiayi County has always been a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing, especially the cherry blossom king in the national park, which is breathtaking when in full bloom, but also very crowded. This time, we skipped this popular spot and went to two lesser-known secret spots for cherry blossom viewing. ✓ Shizhuo Cherry Blossom Trail Located between Shizhuo and Shizhuo, in addition to the Cherry Blossom Trail, there are also Cloud Trail, Tea Trail, Mist Trail, and Haze Trail. The Cherry Blossom Trail is only 130 meters long, planted with Showa cherry blossoms and mountain cherry blossoms. The blooming season is around late February. You can visit during the day to enjoy the flowers, and at night, it is also an excellent spot for viewing night cherry blossoms under the illuminated lights. ✓ Xiding Er Yanping Trail Enter from the 52.8k mark on Taiwan Route 18, passing through the gap between Xiding Mountain and Er Yanping Mountain. The trail offers excellent views, making it a great place to see the sea of clouds. Along the way, the tea fields and cherry blossoms are also major attractions. The mountain cherry blossoms in Er Yanping bloom earlier, around mid-February, making it a great place for a mountain hike and cherry blossom viewing, and to get some exercise.

\Chiayi Yizhu/\Chiayi niche attractions/ #Donghouliao Christian Presbyterian Church I like the red brick 🧱 style church. Although the space is not big, the style is quite special. The small room is very cute. It's a pity that the light was too strong when I went there, which was not suitable for taking film portraits🥹 #Donghouliao Sugar Iron Park There is a cute little yellow locomotive that can be pushed for a short distance by human power. You can experience the feeling of pushing the train yourself😂 #Weng Qingjiang Ancient House The red brick-style Western-style building is also a county-level historical site. If you happen to be in Yizhu Township, it is highly recommended to take a walk around the park! #Chiayi #Chiayi Attractions #Chiayi Travel #Donghouliao #Church #Christian Church #Taiwan Church #Church #Yizhu #Yizhu Township #Red Brick #Red Brick Wall #Red Brick Building #Ancient House #Western Building #Western Building Building #Small Western Building #Old House #Niche Attractions #Niche Attraction Recommendations #County-designated Historic Site #Historic Site #Historic Site Tour #Historic Site Tour #Historic Site Building #Chiayi #Chiayitravel

#100 Ways to Travel Address: No. 178-1, Zhuqi Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan 60497 Atmosphere/Facilities: Hinoki wood furniture, wooden buildings, Japanese style, restrooms, credit card accepted Feature: Railway Bento Price per person: 180 yuan Rating: The Fenchihu bento that you often see in convenience stores was originally a bento shop at Fenchihu Railway Station, which mainly made train bento for lumberjacks and passengers. The main dishes are braised spare ribs and chicken legs. The taste is slightly salty and sweet. Pair it with local seasonal vegetables as side dishes. As the temperature in mountainous areas changes rapidly, the iron lunch box can be placed in an insulated box to keep the lunch hot at all times. Later, forestry was protected and the area gradually became an important part of Alishan's tourism industry. After 7-11 and the owner proposed a joint convenience store Fenchihu bento, it became even more famous and became a must-eat tourist delicacy in the old street with a fragrance that has been lingering for 80 years. Tomahawk soft roast meat + braised chicken drumstick bento 190 yuan The braised tummy tuck and spareribs taste salty and sweet. The 1.5 cm pork chop slices are quite thick. It can be regarded as a double main course enjoyment at once. The rice is a bit small but the dishes are ok. Charcoal grilled T-bone pork bento 180 yuan The 1.5 cm thick braised spareribs are also savory and flavorful. The side dishes may vary depending on the day but in principle they are all the same. The overall taste is pretty good, and you can enjoy the original flavor of the iron box bento. For take-out, I will use a disposable lunch box. Would recommend internal use.

Our time in Alishan was truly unforgettable, and we were incredibly lucky to experience both the sunrise and sunset over the mountains! While many travellers only stay a single night, often because Alishan is seen as a brief stop for hiking and enjoying the recreational forest, we decided to linger a little longer. Staying true to our goal of slow travel, we spent two nights here to fully soak in the breathtaking landscapes and enjoy the serenity of the mountains. We travelled to Alishan by shuttle bus from Fenqihu, a journey of about 45 minutes that offers stunning views as you ascend. Conveniently, you can use a regular train card for the bus, making it easy to travel up to the mountain. The air felt noticeably fresher as we climbed, and the cooler weather brought immediate relaxation. Arriving in the morning, we dropped our bags at the hotel before heading to the famous Alishan Forest Trail. The forest trail is filled with fascinating sights, from the awe-inspiring first- and second-generation trees, some of which are over a thousand years old, to remnants of Japanese culture that reflect Alishan’s past under Japanese rule in the early 20th century. Walking along the trail took us about two and a half hours, and afterwards, we hopped on a scenic train ride back to the main station, adding a bit of charm and nostalgia to our journey. As evening approached, we debated whether to attempt the iconic sunrise viewing the next day, which requires a pre-dawn wake-up call around 4 a.m. We were hesitant but decided it was too unique an experience to pass up. It’s worth noting that sunrise train tickets sell out quickly, so purchasing them the day before is highly recommended. Although we didn’t catch a particularly bright sunrise, watching the world wake up from such an elevated viewpoint was still magical. The experience was made even more memorable thanks to our train driver, who shared jokes and anecdotes to lift everyone’s spirits in the early morning. It was clear he truly loved his job, which added a delightful touch to our journey. Spending two nights allowed us to appreciate the slower rhythm of Alishan, and we left with a deep sense of peace and gratitude for its natural beauty and rich history.

#Sunrise The overall atmosphere of Hotel Indigo Alishan is to create a secluded atmosphere in the mountains. As soon as you arrive, you can smell the faint fragrance of the forest and the sounds of insects and birds. It really feels like a new world after a dark tunnel. The staff are all smiling and very polite. After all, the location is still some distance away from the Alishan Forest, so the forest atmosphere needs to be enhanced. The hotel is about 45 minutes’ drive from Alishan Forest Recreation Area. The public areas are designed with bamboo forest as the theme, with decorations in the shape of Taiwan blue magpies and various totemic aboriginal elements. There is a faint fragrance in the corridors of the room, and the carpets are all emerald green, filled with the breath of nature. The outdoor balcony has lazy chairs and side tables where you can make tea and sit down to enjoy the view. There is a hot tub and a small infinity pool on the top floor. If you want to watch the sunrise but the room terrace is not facing the sun, you can watch it by the pool. The view of the mountains is very spectacular.

Sitting at an elevation of about 2,000 meters, Alishan Forest Recreation Area is a natural park in Chiayi County, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, ancient forests, and scenic train rides. We took a bus from Sun Moon Lake to the Alishan Transport Station, and from there, the entrance to the national park was just a short walk away. Visitors are required to pay an entrance fee, with the cost for an adult foreigner being NT$300. We walked about 15 minutes from the entrance to our accommodation at Wankou Hotel. The town center of the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is small and compact. On the way to our hotel, we passed the visitor center and car park. Most shops and restaurants are located around the town center. #chinatrip #100WaysOfTravel #chiayi #alishan #bus #mountainview #tripblazers #mytripvlog #nature #nationalpark #forest

#travellerswonderland We grabbed a quick lunch at the Naromafei Food Court (娜若瑪菲), located near the Alishan Train Station, before boarding the forest railway to Chaoping Station. This food court features a range of local Taiwanese and indigenous dishes, often using ingredients such as wild vegetables, bamboo shoots, and local meats, allowing visitors to experience traditional mountain cuisine. The name "Naromafei" comes from the Tsou indigenous people, who play a significant role in the cultural landscape of the Alishan area.

#山山 #100WAYS TO TRAVEL #Taiwan Baiyue #玉山 #云海 Yushan is my first Baiyun mountain. Compared with other mountains at 3952 meters, it is relatively easy to conquer. I finally signed up for a mountaineering travel agency and waited for the five-star Paiyun Villa. I was so enthusiastic that I started to dress up 😂 🌟For a novice, the process of going up the mountain and reaching the summit the next day is not easy. You can feel the sweat and rain along the way, and the cold shivering when you are in the villa; you can see the stars in the sky when you turn off the headlights when walking at night, and wake up in the early morning. Seeing the sea of ​​clouds and rising sun, exhausting all your energy to drink milk before climbing to the top, sweating like rain with soaring adrenaline, and the healing sip of hot coffee when climbing to the top🥰 The beauty of climbing to the top is unparalleled, shouting "Taiwan is so beautiful and life is so good"💕 🌟 There is also a mission that is completely impossible for filming a movie. There are cliffs along the way, and it is a life-saving performance ~ shaking! Life is like a microcosm of climbing a mountain. It is painful at first and then happy. There are people around you to accompany you through the process and support each other. "Climb the mountain and enjoy life"~ 💯 It’s hard to just talk to yourself for more than ten hours, empty your mind without electronic products, and review the big and small things in your life. The great scenery of Yushan along the way is beautiful that cannot be captured by mobile phones. Only the eyes can see the most beautiful scenery. It is very To be unforgettable, you must practice it and challenge yourself👍

#forest Alishan is a must-visit attraction in Taiwan that is worth relaxing in. There is not only a guided tour of the park train, but also Phytoncide in the Shenmu District. Every minute is filled with great energy and healing Sunrise, sea of ​​clouds, railway, forest, sunset, and visual feast are all different kinds of wonders in Alishan. The altitude of the mountain is less than 2,000, giving tourists a different experience. Even if you come and go in a hurry, there are still different shining points The main line and branch lines of the "Forestry Railway" are convenient ways to go to Alishan, and they are also the best choice to go to scenic spots such as Fenqi Lake. It is recommended that before going to Alishan, you can first check the opening of the scenic spot management office's jurisdiction, which will provide better tourism quality. Coming once is definitely not enough. The embrace of nature and the creation of visual art are both endlessly memorable. Each time is a different harvest~ I’m so lucky to be able to participate in the Alishan tour organized by my family because the time, place and people are right. Buy a ticket early in the morning to enter the 24-hour national park. Wear thin pants, sweat-wicking clothing, and trail running shoes. Along the way, we passed the magnificent Alishan Station, the gorgeous Alishan Hotel, The Alishan Cherry Blossom King has no flowers anymore, Shouzhengong, who was praying for his father, finally ran to the sacred tree ruins. I deeply appreciate the vivid writing of the introduction to the sacred tree ruins. Family travel has a different experience from family travel, company travel, and friend travel. It's not like getting along day and night like family, but it has an extra level of blood relationship than friends. We've known each other since we were young, and it's been a joy and happiness to be able to travel together.
