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, which are reminders of the magnificence of these sacred trees.

8. Shuishan Trail
This is a trail combining the old culture of Alishan forest railway with the thousand-year old Sacred Tree. You will feel like a time traveler when you walk along this trail. The clouds and mist in the mountain in addition to the deserted platform and railroad create a romantic atmosphere.
