In a separate post in Oct 2009, it was mention the Alishan railway was damaged last yr.
Anyone know if the railway is repaired?
Hi
Sorry to say that the Alishan Antique Railway is still out of service.
Alishan tourist area is open and there are regular buses going up from stops next to the Chiayi Station. Most of the minsus are up and running now.
hi there, any idea what are the timings for the buses from Chiayi to Alishan/Rueili? I read somewhere that there are only 2 timings in a day - not sure how accurate that is?
Some local marketing genius, trying to emulate the success of the 7-11 Empire came up with his own brain child: The 5-9 store.
Note the similar coloring patterns and the close proximity to their chief rival...
I'm sure somewhere, somehow others are dreaming of a 8-12 or 6-9 store that they can call their very own...
If you make it out to Chiayi Park be sure to check out the old turtle.
Just go east from the train station on Chung-Shan Road until you reach the slope up. It's about a 30 minute walk. The park is on your left and the baseball stadium is on the right. The Turtle is near the entrance at the corner of Chi-Min and Chung-Shan roads.
The turtle has been there a long time, and the wind and rain have eroded the features, but on the tablet sticking out of his back you can still faintly see the Manchurian and Chinese texts.
Taiwan could boost its international tourism by putting signs with English translations at some of these historic sites.
Mind you, Chiayi is not your typical tourist stop. Although this is a gateway up into some of the mountain resorts, I will try to concentrate more on the downtown type stuff like dinosaurs, liberty bells, lady liberty, beekeepers, and the like....
We will start with the famous sitting guy. Not sure who he is, but it's an odds on favourite that it is either Chiang Kai-Shek or Sun, Yat-Sen... (I have to do something to entertain myself when in Chiayi on business...)
