brief introduction

Alishan Forest Recreation area is located in Alishan Township, Jiayi County, which is a branch of Yushan Mountain range. It is composed of 18 mountains, and faces the main peak of Yushan Mountain with Lanxi across the Chen River, with a total area of 1400 hectares. Surrounded by mountains, emerald mountains and towering trees, it is very magnificent. A Zou chieftain, abari, once came here alone to hunt. After returning home with a full load, he often brought his people here. To remember him, he named this place after his name. In addition to rich and precious natural resources, the park also retains the cultural resources of the Zou people who lived in the tableland for more than 200 years. It is also connected with Yushan National Park due to the new Zhongheng highway. It is a forest journey with both knowledge and sensibility. There is a saying circulating in Taiwan: "if you don't get to Mt. Ali, you don't know the beauty, greatness and treasure of Taiwan." Although these words are exaggerated, the majestic momentum, magnificent scenery and rich resources of Mt. Ali really deserve its reputation. The so-called "Alishan", one of the "eight scenic spots in Taiwan", does not only refer to one mountain, but also refers to the Alishan scenic spot, which spans Nantou and Jiayi counties, including 18 mountains, including dawuluan, Zhushan, Tashan and duigaoyue. In the area, there are many peaks and ravines. There are not only dangerous cliffs, but also beautiful valleys and waterfalls. The mountains are full of light and haze, and the forests and springs are beautiful. It is a rare scenic spot in the world.

It is said that 250 years ago, there was a Zou chieftain named abari who came here alone to hunt. After returning home with a full load, he often brought his people here. In order to remember him, the people named him after him. As a matter of fact, Mt. Ali is composed of 18 high mountains, which are the branches of Yushan Mountain range and face the main peak of Yushan Mountain across Tongfu river. Now, the new Zhongheng highway has connected Mt. Ali with Yushan scenic spot. Alishan Forest Recreation area is 2216 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains and cool climate. With sunrise, sea of clouds, sunset, forest and mountaineering Forest Railway as the five wonders of Alishan, it is famous at home and abroad. The cultural resources of Zou aborigines increase their tourism charm.
