｜Eryanping Trail

• The Eryanping Trail features a variety of landscapes along its route, including bamboo groves, unique rock formations, and tea plantations. It offers panoramic views of the Jiannan Plain, Renyi Reservoir, and Lantan Reservoir. On clear days, you can even glimpse Dongshi and Budai Outer Harbor in the west and admire the Yushan mountain range to the east. During the winter, there's a chance to witness phenomena like cloud waterfalls, sea of clouds, and breathtaking sunsets, which attract many photographers who make special trips to capture these moments. Depending on the season and personal preferences, you can choose when to visit and appreciate the distinctive beauty of the Eryanping Trail.

｜The Tsou Indigenous Tribe Cultural 'Chukou Visitor Center'

• The Chukou Visitor Center is an important transit point for travelers visiting Alishan. In addition to taking a rest here, you can also visit the nearby 'Tsou Veoveoana Cultural and Creative Park' to experience the unique culture and characteristics of the Tsou Indigenous Tribe. Veoveoana means 'deer hunting ground.' It is said that in the past, the Tsou people used to chase the Formosan sambar deer to this location for hunting. Although traditional hunting practices are no longer carried out, in order to allow visitors to experience the tribal culture, a deer park and archery range have been specially designed. If you want to immerse yourself in the tribal culture, get close to small animals, you must not miss this!
