The 2 nights stay in Alishan was just superb. So thankful that once again we met with nice hosts and they gave us a discounted rate of NT1300 for one night for 3 of us. Which means it onli costs us bout $20 sing dollars per person per night for the comfortable Jap style mini villa heh. We had like all the basic facilities of a house including refrigerator, hot water dispenser, water heater, cooking place, hair dryer. And the best part is we don even need an air con, as the weather is a nice cooling 20 degrees or even lower sometimes :)
The simple way of life in Alishan realli opened up my heart n mind to see that such easily contented ppl realli exists. They onli grow tea leaves or fruits in the high mountains to sell to the locals for a living, and they can make do without the fancy city life like shopping centres, cinemas or even other forms of entertainment. The beauty of Gods creation in the picturesque Alishan also made me feel closer to God and how amazing he has created this land n Earth.
Most of the time in Alishan was spent admiring the scenery in Alishan or walking around the quaint town in Fen Qi Hu which had alot local snacks, small stalls and products. Other than that, we just lazed around in our cosy villa enjoying the nice weather, lazing around watching TV or jus chatting. Oh ya, we went to see the sunrise at Alishan. Woke up at like a crazy timing of 245am, sat a rented car bout one hour up to the higher part of ALishan and took a train ride up to the peak of ALishan. The ride n getting up early was realli worth it as we saw super super nice scenery of the sky, mountains clouds and sun. It was realli a special experience staying in the mountainous areas of Alishan for 2 nights.
