Taiwan-Alisan

After 2days staying at Taipei, it's time for us to move up to the mountain : } Alisan. Weather was still good in the morning.. we had bot the HSR train ticket 1 day before, so we dun have to rush.

Depart at 9am,we can't find any place for our Bkf so just have to settle with the packed Brunch/ Bento, not too bad thou : } got Pork chop, egg, veg & rice.


Charlies the owner of Small Swiss homestay has arranged a tour guide, Mr Hsu for us. He pick us up from Chiayi Station & we proceed with our journey. Stop by a few places for sightseeing.





This place is the popular tourist attraction, the Heaven & Earth Hanging Bridge.


The Earth Bridge.


Towards the Heaven Bridge. It's believe that a couple walked through this bridge together, they will be blessed with an eternal marriage. So..ofcos I die die must walk through it lah!!! : }


It happened to be 1 of the Alisan Festival, we get a chance to see the Cultural wedding : }

and the food they eat.

Here's the group getting marry, some are real couples and some are just staff working there pretending to be couple to make it look grand : )



After the show, we went to Fenchihu, the old town of Alisan & the old rail way station.

Aiyu, the local dessert. Is best know as jelly/ Ou Yeo in S'pore.



This kind of flower that can be make into drugs, heard fr Mr Hsu


our forest walk begin... thou it drizzle abit, but the walk is so relaxing & I really love the whole journey.



Finally we are up at the home Stay. The view from Small Swiss, and their own tea plantation. The view is breath taking...




We only managed to stay 1 night here due to our tight schedule. On the 2nd day, David the owner's son drove us all the way to Hualian. The Weather was bad so instead of going by Yushan mountain which has a fascinating view, we have to go by Chiayi mainland road. Before we depart David bring us another round to the forest walk and we took a ride on the wooden train. Another flower found along the way.

I like this pic, look like those olden days ; } but too bad it's blurr.. : S

The rest... let the pic tell the story ... : }

Our stay at Small Swiss Homestay, Alisan.
1night accommodation full board + Tour around Alisan cost : NT14,000

Not cheap but i feel it's worth the price, coz we get to see alot of beautiful scenery & we also enjoyed the local food which not many ppl has a chance to try it.
