Local Attractions

Three unmissable Chiayi attractions are all within a 15-minute drive of the hotel:

• Chiayi Cultural Park: A sprawling green space centered around the historic Chiayi City Old Prison, this park blends cultural heritage with leisurely walking paths, seasonal lotus blooms, and open-air art installations. It’s the perfect spot for a morning stroll after your hotel breakfast.
• Alishan Forest Railway Station: The iconic starting point for the famous Alishan forest railway, this 100-year-old station houses a small museum detailing the history of logging and rail travel in the region, and offers short scenic rides for visitors not heading all the way up the mountain.
• Wenhua Road Night Market: One of Taiwan’s most beloved night markets, just 10 minutes from the hotel, where you can sample local specialties like Chiayi turkey rice, oyster omelets, and bubble tea, alongside street performances and handmade souvenir stalls.

Travel Tips

If you’re planning a day trip or overnight stay in Alishan, the front desk can help book bus or train tickets in advance, and stored luggage is available for guests heading up the mountain before checking in or after checking out. The hotel’s complimentary bike rental lets you reach nearby street food stalls and local temples in 10 to 15 minutes, skipping city parking headaches. If you’re arriving by plane from Chiayi Airport, book the hotel’s paid airport shuttle in advance for a hassle-free direct transfer to the property. For the best rate, book a family room in advance if traveling with children—these popular rooms fill up fast during peak Alishan travel season from October to March.
