How to get to Alishan attractions in Chiayi, Huashixi Trail? Nearby attractions of Huashixi, Chiayi tea gardens, and Tian Mama's Tea Homestay can be accessed from here. The Longwei Tea Garden Huashixi Trail seemed difficult to reach at first, but after understanding, it turned out to be very easy to get to. After parking, you can see this absolutely beautiful hidden spot within a 5-minute walk! Surrounded by lush green tea gardens, the overlapping mountain ranges in front create a stunning view.

The leaning temple caused by Typhoon 88 Known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Taiwan! Located in Zhenxing Temple, Taihe Village, Meishan Township, Chiayi. The typhoon caused the ground to slide, causing the temple structure to shift and tilt by about 30 to 45 degrees. The tilted temple has become a secret tourist attraction in Chiayi… I feel dizzy from taking photos! Remember to hold on to the rope next to you! #Tilt Temple #88 Typhoon #Chiayi Meishan

You can pay after eating. 🟡Price per person: NT$200-300 Here are my thoughts on the meals we had that day: 1) Signature steamed dumplings and xiaolongbao: The xiaolongbao tastes sweeter, while the steamed dumplings are just average. I suggest you order some xiao long bao. 2) Shredded Pork Fried Rice: The rice grains are distinct and have a slightly burnt aroma, which is very delicious. 3) Japanese fried noodles: The portion is large, with dried bonito flakes and sweet sauce, sweet and delicious 😋If you like noodles, you must order it✅ 4) Golden Sand Tofu: A dish made with salted duck eggs and egg tofu. It’s a little hot when you first bite it, but the soft tofu texture inside and the eggy aroma of the salted duck egg outside are super delicious! 👍 5) Stir-fried diced chicken with green onions: The tender chicken thighs and the Japanese sweet sauce go really well with rice! 6) Seasonal vegetables: Dried bamboo shoots are added to the cooking, the taste is very special 😋 The four of us ordered a lot of dishes that day and were very full!

It took almost two hours to drive from Douliu to arrive. The mountain scenery along the way is also spectacular. I thought I could see beautiful cherry blossoms, but when I arrived at the site, the cherry blossoms had already withered and sprouted 😂😂😂 Look at the sea of ​​clouds and breathe in the fresh air ~ Fortunately, there is a cherry blossom in full bloom on the roadside so you can take some photos to your heart's content ~

If you have never driven on a mountain road or are prone to motion sickness, it is recommended that you join a day tour with a group! At Taiping Yunti in Meishan Township, Yi County, you can take the National Highway 3 Exit (Exit 279 Meishan, head toward Dalin Meishan, and keep right when you reach the fork in the road toward Meishan) The Taiping Ladder in Meishan is charged. The regular ticket on site is $100. It is recommended to go to travel websites like Klook for discounts and no need to queue! It is recommended that you use the public toilet near the ticket office before going up the bridge so that you don’t have to go to the toilet halfway through the walk. It will be very embarrassing. After buying the ticket or having an e-ticket, you can go directly to the bridge. Please remember to be safe as you will need to cross the road and take the stairs. The bridge is located at a relatively high place so sometimes the wind is strong or there is fog, so you must also pay attention to your own warmth and safety! I was on a group tour with my parents that day. After walking across the bridge, you can choose to go directly back to the visitor center to rest or go right and continue to challenge the "Yunzhinan Road Trail", which is about a 1-kilometer hike. Please assess your own situation before making a decision to avoid being unable to move forward halfway. In Zhongqian, you can see many natural scenery and tea gardens. Of course, it is inevitable to take photos of handsome and beautiful Internet celebrities. There is also a pavilion in the middle where you can rest. The overall feeling is that the air is very fresh and very comfortable. Friends who like walking should not miss it! After returning to the old street, you can see if you want to buy some local specialties or have a meal. Of course, the "Air Library" cannot be missed. Many people will take photos and check in in front of this restaurant! That’s right, this is not a real library but the name of a restaurant😂 Taiping Cloud Ladder is a unique scenic spot in Meishan, Chiayi. If you have time, remember to go up the mountain early to experience the beauty of Taiwan’s mountains and forests!

Taiping Old Street in Meishan, Chiayi, is nestled within a misty mountain town. Descending from Sanyuan Temple, you step into this nostalgic little journey. In the cool weather, holding a steaming cup of almond tea warms you to the core. The dried fruits on the street, such as dried tangerines and dried peaches, are perfectly sweet and sour, making them ideal souvenirs. Garlic crisps, on the other hand, are savory, crispy, and irresistibly addictive. Walking between stone steps and wooden windows, it feels as if time itself has slowed down. Here, it’s not just about the scenery but also a pure rhythm of life.

Every time I see this attraction on the Internet! I always think, wow~ what a beautiful place… I really want to go and see it… But I checked Google Maps... Hmm... The drive will take about three hours... I immediately gave up the idea. After all, I am not young anymore, not suitable for traveling🤣🤣 As a result, little did they know… Just last month, at the invitation of a friend, I came to this place... All I can say is, the mountain road is bumpy… 🤮 People who are prone to motion sickness should take motion sickness medicine before going there… Otherwise, I will definitely make you vomit all over the road! ! ! ! It's not easy to get here To be honest, it’s somewhat disappointing! It’s the cherry blossom season, but there aren’t many cherry blossoms to see… Plus the weather was a bit hot and humid...it wasn't very comfortable to walk! My ideal scenario would be... The weather is cold and a little foggy.. It should be raining cherry blossoms🌸 The results are completely different～～～～ But honestly The scenery on the mountain is still beautiful! Photos can be presented beautifully without any photo editing... The entrance fee is 220 yuan per person, and the parking fee is 100 yuan... It takes about one or two hours to walk around the entire park! Beautiful scenery cannot be explained by just a few photos... If you also like nature, you might as well plan to go there yourself❤️

Taiping Cloud Ladder is the highest scenic suspension bridge in Taiwan. Standing on the bridge, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Chiayi Mountain City and even the Chianan Plain in the distance, which is refreshing. Walking on the 281-meter-long suspension bridge, with the breeze blowing and the mist lingering, it feels like walking in the clouds. Especially when the weather is clear, the magnificent scenery of Meishan 36 bends is unobstructed and amazing. The suspension bridge is surrounded by lush greenery and is full of natural atmosphere. You can also appreciate artistic sculptures along the way to add to the cultural atmosphere. When the sea of ​​clouds rolls, it feels like being in a fairyland, which is extremely shocking. It is a must-see attraction for travelers who love nature and photography. There is Taiping Old Street nearby, where I tried some roasted corn to satisfy my craving.

Hanxi, located in the valley of Meishan Township, Chiayi County, is a hidden and beautiful natural attraction. For travelers who love nature, this is definitely a treasure not to be missed.

Especially in spring and summer, the wild flowers in Hanxi Ni are in full bloom, attracting many photography enthusiasts to capture this natural picture. One can't help but want to stop and enjoy the tranquility. More than 30 years ago, the owner of the garden was attracted by the magnificent scenery of the Santa Mountains and decided to cultivate the land here, gradually creating this quiet world. There are many ancient formations in the park, such as the Bagua Formation and the Four Symbols Formation, for tourists to explore. In addition to beautiful natural scenery, Hanxi also has rich history and culture. The local residents are also warm and hospitable, and you can taste authentic traditional food such as wild vegetables and bamboo shoots, which are all delicacies with unique local characteristics. Whether you want to explore the mysteries of nature or gain an in-depth understanding of local culture, Hanxi Ni can make your journey full of surprises and unforgettable memories! #2月好地方2025

### A one-day solo hike in the Yunlin-Chiayi Five Peaks In the morning, I drove to Meishan in Chiayi to hike in the Yunlin-Chiayi Five Peaks. Although the 36 bends along the way made me a little dizzy, as the altitude continued to rise, the air became better and better, the houses in the city became smaller and smaller, and I was getting closer and closer to the clouds. Arrive at "Sanyuan Temple" and park your car, then get ready and head to the trailhead on the nearby industrial road. The fresh air and beautiful scenery made me instantly forget the fatigue of driving early in the morning. When I arrived at the observation deck, I was amazed by the sea of ​​clouds in front of me. The clouds seemed to roll under my feet. This is a mysterious fairyland, a favorite hiking route for climbers, both friendly and beautiful. The original route is a 12-kilometer round-trip hiking journey. The initial steep steps are a challenge for novices. As I have just recovered from a serious injury to my feet, I need to stop from time to time to rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery around me. I often look back at the road I came from, and every few minutes I see the changes in the clouds, which is really healing. On the way, I picked up a few mountaintops, "Taiping Mountain", "Lizijiao Mountain", "Ma'anshan", "Erjian Mountain", and "Dajian Mountain". On the way to Dajianshan, there is a famous local chicken restaurant. The aroma of the delicious food is so strong that even on weekdays, there are always diners here. I couldn’t help but stop and enjoy the specialties. It also replenished my energy for the next journey. After that, I chose a viewing platform and decided to make a cup of coffee, sit down and quietly enjoy this moment of tranquility. Even in the thick fog, sipping the fragrant coffee and listening to the sounds of nature, I felt an indescribable comfort in my heart. However, hiking is not just about pleasure. There are also many steep downhills along the way. Experienced cross-country runners seem to be in their element, moving through the mountains with ease, passing me one by one. Although the Yunjia Five Peaks itinerary is a bit challenging for novices, it is definitely a feast for nature. The magnificent tea garden terraces and the random changes in every scene are the biggest gains of my trip. I look forward to climbing here again next time to greet more sea of ​​clouds and challenges!

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 The former site of the Zhenxing Temple is located in Taihe Village, Meishan Township, Chiayi. The road on the left side of the newly built Zhenxing Temple cuts down about 2 kilometers and the road is narrow. The former site of the Zhenxing Temple was built during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty and was dedicated to the God of Fortune. Due to the ground sliding caused by the August 8 typhoon in 2009, the temple tilted about 30 to 45 degrees, becoming a tourist secret spot, commonly known as the "Taiwan version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa." Although affected by natural disasters, the temple has become a symbol of the balance between the Tudigong faith and the forces of nature. Address: No. 3, Taihe Village, Meishan Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan #TaiwanTravel #Chiayi #HistoricBuildings

This is also a trip that makes all the participants sigh. Adults and children alike said they didn’t dare. But when we arrived at our destination, we were completely overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery. Longgong Waterfall is not so well-known and there are not many tourists, but there are many elderly people hiking on the way; but because it is always going down and up, it is very tiring. It's also a challenge #Challenge your physical limits
