This is the famous old and slow-ride train from Pei Men (Chiayi), trekking up to Alishan.
When the train finally arrived in Alishan.
Alishan has numerous varieties of beautiful flowers. Springtime is when this Rose blooms. I don't remember this flower's name, but it is one of the Sakura family too.
It was kinda too late when we came to Alishan in the mid April, because the flowers are already rare.

Two top tourist attractions in Alishan are: sunrise viewing (from 4 am to 6 am depends on the season) and the sea of clouds (where you can see sea of clouds under you from the top of the mountain).
It is a tradition when you spend a night in Alishan, the hotel staffs will wake you up in 3 am, to give you time to prepare for the sunrise viewing. Some take a morning walk up to the higher place to view the sunrise. Some (like us) take the bus, rent from the hotel. It was chilling in the morning. The picture above shows sunrise-about-to-be. We were unlucky because that morning it was about to rain, so there's no sunrise to see. :(
This is the sea of clouds. Amazing.
Post office in Alishan. I like it.
