Challenge the highest altitude by taking the electric sightseeing vehicle up to Zhushan.
The beauty of Zhushan is worth savoring in detail. Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is renowned both domestically and internationally for its “Five Wonders”: railways, forests, sea of clouds, sunrises, and sunsets. The “Zhushan area” within the park is the perfect choice to experience all five wonders in a single day.

At the 360-degree panoramic Mount Ogasawara Observation Deck, you can admire the beauty of the Yushan mountain range, witness the surging sea of clouds and cloud waterfalls; you might also unexpectedly encounter the “King of the Mist,” the Mikado pheasant. Hence, photography enthusiasts jokingly call this area the “Mikado Pheasant Guaranteed Class.”
In summer, daisies spread like a green carpet in the alpine botanical garden.
The Alishan electric sightseeing vehicle operates at four stations: the Main Waiting Station, the Passenger Service Center Station, the Xianglin Station, and the Zhaoping Station. The electric sightseeing vehicle runs on fixed schedules and accepts reservations, with newly added stops at Gaoyue Station and Zhushan Station (an unmanned stop).
