The Alishan Mountain Range is one of the five largest mountain ranges in Taiwan. However, “Alishan,” which means “Ali Mountain,” is in fact not a single mountain, but rather refers to the entire mountain range. The area has been home to a rich stock of Taiwan red cypresses and Taiwan yellow cedars since ancient times. From 1912 until the late 1960s this was the site of the largest forestry center in all of Taiwan. The Giant Trees Plank Trail within the recreation area currently has two sections. Walking along the trail, you’ll encounter 36 red cypress giant trees that have survived through the centuries, reminders of the magnificence of these sacred trees.

Even if you are unable to hike long distances or climb many stairs you can enjoy Alishan. Just take the 100nt train to the tops, walk 45 minutes through the forest seeing the old trees and views down the stairs, and take the train back from the Sacred Tree. Recommend going morning up to 11am to beat the fog rolling in.
