A Trip to Alishan

Monday, January 23~24
Alishan is a very beautiful place. In Alishan there are 5 beautiful views – Sunrise, Sea of Clouds, Sunset Clouds, Forest Railways, Forest.
If you want to see Sunrise and Sea of Clouds you need to get up very early in the morning. You will need to catch the forest train at 6 o’clock, and the temperature is low. The forest train will take you to Zhushan. Zhushan’s elevation is 2489m. There is a sunrise viewing house on Zhushan. The view will be beautiful. Why is the cloud named sea of the clouds in the Alishan, because the cloud looks like the waves. If you're curious about the Zhushan sunset (祝山日落), on weekends and holidays there is in fact a late-afternoon tourist train that chugs up the mountain to see it. The forest train is one of the mountain train in the world. Many years ago the mountain train took woods from Alishan to the city, but right now it sends passengers to do the sightseeing. There is a big big big forest that has a forest bath trail to let you have a forest bath. There are lots of big trees; the oldest one has an age of 3000!!!!!!!! Also there are lots of flowers, animals and some views in the forest. At last I think the way to Alishan is like a snake, because you turn left and right and left and right and left and right and will make you go crazyBut some people will get car sick. Car Sick in Chinese is「暈車」but my brother Max always says: 「車暈」Everyone laugh a lot!!!!!!!!
