My Advice
  • When you see the sunrise at Chushan, You should wear warm clothes because of chilly weather at the dawn. I recommend you to go to Chushan by rail, and walk down the Chushan Footpath on your way back from there. Light meals and souvenirs are available at street store between Chushan Station and Sun Viewing House.
  • Would you like to buy some Alishan Oolong Tea? If you like, they are available at TenRen.Com
