It feels like an adventure that turns you back to a time when the train trip was just beginning and was exciting.
And somehow this train still exists.
The train describes a space of 70 miles [71.4 km] on Mount Alishan.
The train was completed in 1912 when the country was occupied by Japan, and forest railways were used to be transported by Alishan.
Now, though, the function is only to transport passengers to the mountains. And today, it remains one of the most historic and beautiful railways in the world.
