Taiwan Alishan
At first I was wondered where this place located but later I found out that it was in Chiayi County, southern Taiwan. The scenery along the Alishan forestry railroad is extraordinarily beautiful, filled as it is with the attraction of nature, and it just like a magnet for huge numbers of tourists worldwide. You can get closer to nature by walking mountain trails. Then you can try to take this famous Alishan Forest Railway from Chiayi station (the old one, not the new HSR station at Taibao). For one-way, the cost is NTD$400 (about US$14) and it took around 3.5 hours. Entry to Alishan costs NT$150 per person if arriving on public transport, NT$200 if arriving by car, charged on arrival. What stuff famous from here? Hmn..I can tell enough many stuff such as sorts of mountain produce and wasabi, as well as carvings and handicrafts made from red cypress. Souvenir shops also tasty cookies and pastries, a medicinal herb reputed to give long life. The name is Japanese for "tomorrow leaf", as (according to legend) if you pluck a leaf early in the morning, a new one will replace it by the next day.
