Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are just a short drive from the inn. First, the iconic Alishan Forest Railway’s Zhuqi Station is only 15 minutes away: you can ride a vintage forest train up into the mountains past tea plantations and ancient cypress forests, one of Taiwan’s most beloved cultural experiences. Second, Fenqihu Old Street, 25 minutes up the mountain, is famous for its crispy bento boxes made with local bamboo and wild mushrooms, with preserved wooden shopfronts that harken back to the area’s logging heyday. Third, the Zhuqi Riverside Park is 10 minutes from the inn, a gentle, shaded green space along the Qingshui River ideal for picnics, casual walks, and spotting native bird species.

Travel Tips

If you’re bringing a pet, be sure to notify the inn at the time of booking to confirm your pet’s stay and any extra fees. The inn’s barbecue facilities are popular with groups, so reserve your grill spot in advance during peak weekends and holiday seasons. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures for exploring the area, though summer guests will appreciate the cool mountain breezes that make this area far more pleasant than the sweltering Chiayi lowlands. If you don’t have a car, the local county bus stops just a five-minute walk from the inn, connecting you to Zhuqi and Alishan’s major sites. For travelers looking to experience the quiet, authentic side of Chiayi’s mountain country, Zhucqi Baishujiao Inn is an ideal home base.
