I got this reply from THSR. Hope it will help those who intend to go Alishan.

Dear Mr. Lim,

Thank you for taking the time to e-mail Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation regarding our operation. Due to the large number of emails received and very limited staff, we apologize for any delay in reply.

If you wish to go to Chiayi Railway Station from THSR Chiayi Station, we suggest you take Chiayi City Bus which services the route. The route map is available here: http://yoyonet.biz/egoing/bus/wunchanan/chaea/brt-2.htm. The time of travel is roughly 30-45 minutes on the bus. For detailed information, please contact Chiayi City Bus directly at 05-275-0895.

If you are visiting the Alishan National Park, you'll need to purchase tickets from the Chiayi Railway Station. The one-way fare is about NT399 and the trip will take about 3.5 hours. Currently there are two trains heading up the Alishan National Park per day, one at 9am and one at 1:30pm. Starting April 15th, only the afternoon train will be in service (except on weekends, both trains will be available). There are more information on the official Alishan Forest Railway website: http://railway.forest.gov.tw/.

Thank you again for your generous support and care. We hope the above information is helpful to your travel plans with THSR. Should you have any additional questions about our products or services, please feel free to contact us at any time. Your continuous suggestions and comments will be very helpful and valuable to us.

Sincerely,

Are there any ming su places that we can stay there? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am in Tainan for the last two weeks & bored to hell. I read somewhere about the BOB massage parlour very near to Tayih Landis hotel. Can somebody guide me to the correct location? Or is there any better options.

How many days in advance is required to book with Mr Chen? We can just call, inform him of the day and time we will reach Hualian and the route we wants to take and he will pick us up on that day ?

Any famous shops that we must visit when we are at Hualian ? Any local speciality ?

Thanks.
