Photos from Alishan

Alishan is a beautiful place, we were quite lucky that the cherry blossoms are blooming and the weather was cool not cold. It was unfortunate that we were in a tour group and cannot stay too long, it would be nice just to walk slowly around the place and take in the sights.

The guide told us, the famous Alishan Railway was actually built during the time when Japan occupied Taiwan for transporting Alishan's cypress trees down, most of the trees that you see now in Alishan are all replanted to replace those that were cut down.



Alishan Railway Tracks, pity that we didn't get to ride it.

There are some trees with interesting names like the two sisters, three brothers and some that looked like pigs and hearts.
