Alishan, a branch range of the Yushan Mountain Range, consists of eighteen connected high mountains overlooking the Main Peak of the Yushan Mountain Range across Tongfu River. According to legend, Chieftain Abali of the Tsou Tribe was deeply loved by his tribal people, who thus named their hunting area Alishan (Mt. Ali). The Alishan Forest Recreation Area is located in these mountains with an elevation of 2,216 meters above sea level. The area is surrounded by high mountains with fascinating scenery, including the most famous “five wonders”: sunrise, sea of clouds, sunset glow, forests and mountain railway. A world-class tourist attraction, there are many points of interest with changing sceneries within the park.
