A few more photos from Alishan

These are a few more photos of our Alishan trip. The park is at about 2000 meters and used to be 2000 year old forest. When Japan had possession of the island between 1905-1945, they built a railway in order to harvest the forest. Now there are only a few of these 2000+ year old Red Cedars around. same old story around the world. The train is pretty cool though. It is one of two in the world that zig-zags up part of the mountain, going from 50 meters to 2000+ meters in 75 kilometers.
