taipei and alishan transport queries

1 - Not that I know of.

2 - www.kingbus.com.tw

3 - They are about 10 to 15 minutes away by foot, just ask the locals for directions.

4 - Yes, a swimming suit (and cap) is mandatory for public hot springs.

5 - Everything is accessible by foot except Monkey rock.

6 - Not really. 1 Hour will barely give you enough time to visit the souvenir shops and the old street. You won%26#39;t have time for the bamboo forest trail.

thank you very much pcheng!!

1 last qns :

If i were to follow this method (option 2) :

tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g293910-i9303-k177鈥?/a>

Will i be able to purchase the train or bus ticket down to chiayi at FenQiHu?

(Because i will be taking the Minsu%26#39;s transport from Alishan to FenQiHu.)

Option 2 extract as below from the topic:

Overnight in Alishan and view sunrise the next morning. Check-out at 12 noon.

Board the 1318 hrs train downhill to Fenchihu. Fare: NT158 Travel time: 1 hr 17 mins. Arrive Fenchihu at 1435 hrs. Visit the two attractions -- Fenchihu Old Street and Old Railway Museum (from 1435 to 1650 hrs = 2 hrs 15 mins). Board the 1650 hrs bus downhill to Chiayi Bus Station. Fare: NT$155 Travel time: 1 hr 50 mins. Arrive Chiayi at 1840 hrs.

sorry i have somemore questions popping up now..

have decided to drop national palace museum and go explore more around yuanshan.

Will there be a direct bus from matyr shrine to confusious temple in taipei ? ?

Planning 6.30am train to Chiayi 8.00am

Call Mr Li number but Ms Hou pick up..

She say she can pick us up at THSR and go up to Fengzihu...cos I can%26#39;t make it to Chiayi Railway for the 8.10am bus and i also don%26#39;t want to wait till afternoon for the forest railway.

And she charge me NT1500 from THSR to Fengzihu that I found that is resonable.

Anyone who need the service can call her at 886392879842

erm.. is from Chiayi HSR to FengChiQu ? not going up to Alishan??

My MinSu owner quoted me NT800 from Chiayi HSR to FengChiQu to Alishan (but only 1 hour stop at FenChiHu)

Jiajia, from the Martyrs Shrine, take Bus 208 or 21 to MRT Yuanshan, then walk for about 10~12 min. on Kulun St. (westward from MRT Yuanshan Exit 2).

Hi Calicoat, thank you very much for the help again :)

Anyone can help me on the train/bus ticket buying part at FenQiHu?

Can we take own transport down to FenQiHu

and then at FenQiHu Station, just buy the train/bus ticket for : FenQiHu to Chiayi Train Station

Jiajia85,

Oh...really NT800 per person ??

Yah, she quote me NT1500 for 4pax (per car)

From Chiayi THSR to Fengqihu and extra NT1000 for 4 pax from Fengqihu to Alishan.

So total will be NT2500 for 4 pax.

Cos we have not decide whether to take her transport from Fengqihu to Alishan or to take the forest train so did not ask her how long we can stay at Fengqihu.

Sorry. Is NT400 per person. Becos 2 of us so is NT800..

But did she tell u how long she will stop at FenQiHu?

Because 1 hour is too short to view everything.
