1) Nearest HSR station is Chiayi. I would advise using the TRA to get to Chiayi TRA Station, bus frequency there is more frequent. Might be able to share a driver up to the main area

2) Alishan Main Recreation Area is done mostly by foot and the train system there. Others like fenchihu etc etc can be done by bus or driver if you can find others to share the cost. If you have nv driven left hand drive and in mountainous winding roads, i would suggest not to.

Thanks so much for the information and recommendations! :)
I shall be headed there from Kaohsiung. Will catch TRA train from Kaohsiung to Chiayi, then a bus (or share driver) to Alishan.

I checked Google Maps and there is a bus terminal about 2 or 3 blocks from the train station. It could be quite inconvenient to carry my luggage over this distance, so I was wondering if there is also a bus service directly from the train station (i.e. the location in photo)

I have driven in Taiwan, Europe and US before, so left-hand drive is no issue. Was just thinking that it may be more relaxing (though possibly more time-consuming) to not drive this trip.

TRA to Chiayi..The bus heading up to Alishan is just outside the station to your right..Small bus terminal..

Cost of getting a car vs hiring driver/public buses..But generally IMHO, to rent a car for Alishan isnt quite worth it unless u're rushing to go elsewhere.

From your picture, we got our tickets from a small building to the left.

My Hualien minsu was booked in Sept lehx... :s13:

Not kiasu..I prefer to settle things as early as possible and not rush around in the last 1-2 months before the trip trying to secure some bookings only to find out that it's fully booked..
