Alishan National Scenic Area is a mountain range situated in the Chiayi County, 3 hours north of Kaohsiung, in Taiwan. It is famous for its endless mountains, hiking, tea and wasabi plantations, amazing sunsets and sunrises and the historic Alishan Forest Railway - one of only 3 remaining in the world.
I think it is best that the pictures speak for themselves.
