This Stunning Forest Train in Taiwan Travels Through 4 Climate Zones and 77 Tunnels

"Built in 1912 during Japanese colonial rule as a narrow-gauge line to haul lumber, this red-and-cream heritage train now provides a five-hour, 44-mile scenic journey from Chiayi through Zhuqi and Meishan up into the Alishan National Forest Recreational Area, climbing from about 131 feet to 12,965 feet. The route threads tropical to frigid climate zones and fragrant coniferous forests of cedar, Chinese fir, incense cedar, and oak, and negotiates 50 bridges, 77 tunnels, spirals and switchbacks—highlighted by the Dulishan Spiral, which holds the Guinness World Record for the longest spiral railway. After years of earthquake-, typhoon-, and landslide-related closures it reopened in summer 2024 and is celebrated as both a nostalgic, living monument to local history (important to nearby Indigenous communities) and one of the most picturesque ways to experience Taiwan’s misty mountain scenery; tickets are available via the operator’s website or tour providers." - Rachel Chang Rachel Chang Rachel Chang is a travel and pop culture journalist who contributes to Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, and more.

Experience the beauty of nature and immerse yourself in the vista of blooming flowers along the Alishan Forest Railway, while fully inhaling the fresh air amidst the valley. If you're looking to plan a nature-focused trip to Taiwan, we recommend exploring the romantic railway line in Alishan.

This is a place where you can closely view the Alishan railway trains. You can experience the nostalgic charm of the old trains and locomotives. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. There are many museums in the nearby area. I really love this place!

Nice place to check out the Alishan trains. Free access and we went here while on a bike. Cool 10-20 minute tour

The park itself is clean. The public restroom smells. The trains themselves are not maintained with rusty paints etc. its a shame, if they're well maintained it'll be such a beautiful park with historic trains. It felt like "train dumpster site". Waste time going here.

We entered for free on a Saturday morning. Well kept place. There was a train coming in and it was amazing to see up close.

A short distance walk from Hinoki village so you can visit both places within the span of a few hours. A must-go for railway train lovers - a cool place with quite the variety of railway trains and designs. Free to enter and lots of space for photo-taking with the trains and along the rails. Barely any visitors on a weekday afternoon so spam photos to your heart's desire.

This is a nice stop in Chiayi. There are many opportunities for pictures. It is free of charge, so if you're in the area might as well go. It would be cooler if there were more opportunities to go inside trains. The only trains you could go into were changed into bathrooms. 🤣

Quaint, old, not very touristy in that no tickets required, no guide, hardly any facilities or explanation. Almost just feels like a real working place. Rather odd. Anyway my kid seemed to like seeing the trains so that was good. Short walk down the main road to the Hinoki Village. Note that you can walk in here via the main road, altho our taxi dropped us at the small road. So just note you don't have to trek all the way in.
