Gau Shan Ching Hotel

The hotel is close to the train station, so if you want to catch the sunrise, it's just a 10-minute walk to the station.

The hotel is located right inside the Alishan Forest Recreation Area, making it super convenient for grabbing a bite in the square or getting up early for the sunrise. It's about a 6-8 minute walk to Alishan Railway Station and around a 15-minute walk to Alishan Bus Station.

It seems impossible to find reasonably priced accommodation in the Alishan Scenic Area, which is why even ********* locals feel domestic tourism in Taiwan isn't worth the cost. The hotel provides basic facilities, and I didn't expect good soundproofing, so I have no complaints there. I saw many complaints in the comments section about the lack of a shower curtain, but the owner seems completely indifferent to guest feedback, not bothering to make even simple improvements. So the bathroom and toilet just get completely soaked. To be honest, Alishan isn't an absolute must-see, but the related tourism infrastructure and the hotel's value for money directly influence a traveler's final choice.

The room smelled of smoke. It was a bit pricey, but the location is great for catching the sunrise in the morning.

This hotel is located within the Alishan Scenic Area. To my surprise, the room I booked was extremely small, the Wi-Fi was very unstable, and they didn't provide any drinking water. Besides a dehumidifier in the room, there's really nothing else positive to say.
