The Alishan area boasts unique natural resources and a rich cultural heritage of the Tsou people. When traveling here, in addition to enjoying the sequential blossoms of mountain cherries, double-petal cherries, Showa cherries, and Wushe white cherries that adorn the Alishan region, you can also visit the Zhulu Community to appreciate the beautiful symbols of Tsou mythology and history.

Taiwan Railways has introduced the “Tsou Journey to Fenchihu – Cherry Blossoms Accompany Me” forest railway cruise train itinerary. A one-way trip is via the Alishan train, with the return (or outbound) journey by coach, thus divided into Itinerary A and Itinerary B. Itinerary B includes an additional stop at the Third Viewpoint of Duli Mountain on the train return.

Participants in this itinerary can choose their preferred schedule, with a limited quota of 200 people per session (100 for each Itinerary A and B). Each package is priced at NT$400 [covering only the forest railway fare (including railway safety insurance), guided tour fees, and the entrance fee to the Zhulu Community (redeemable as NT$50 in-store credit)], excluding the one-way coach transfer fee. The coach transfer fee of NT$220 per person (same rate for children and seniors) will be collected by the guide during the coach ride.
