Sleeping
Most hotels are in the village below the car park. The high season is during Chinese New
Year and the Cherry Blossom Festival. Saturday nights have increased rates, too.
Catholic Hostel HOSTEL $
(Tiānzhǔtáng; 267 9602; dm/d/tw NT$500/1200/2400) Nothing fancy, but this is it for
rock-bottom budget accommodation in Alishan. The hostel, down a side road to the left
of the park entrance gate, is not always open (especially on weekdays) so call before you
go.
Shermuh HOTEL $$$
(Shénmù Bīnguǎn; 267 9666; http://alisan.hotel.com.tw ; d/tw NT$3200/4500) Rooms are
comfy and clean enough but unsurprising. The hotel is located off a lower road, which
you can reach by taking a set of stairs beside the visitor centre.
Alishan House HOTEL $$$
$$$
(Ālǐshān Bīnguǎn; 267 9811; www.alishanhouse.com.tw ; r from NT$8000) The old-world
charm from this Japanese-era hotel is a bit faded, but it's still Alishan's top hotel. The
food in the restaurant is so-so, but the outdoor cafe has a lovely setting among the cherry
trees. Make sure to get the hotel to pick you up as it's a bit of walk from the village car
park or train station.
Eating
Most of the restaurants in Alishan are clustered around the car park and serve similar de-
cent fare at similar prices: hot pots, stir-fries, and local vegetable and meat dishes for
around NT$150 to NT$250. Most are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. English
menus are available.
In the car-park area is a 7-Eleven selling sandwiches, noodles and drinks.
Shopping
Alishan high mountain tea (Ālǐshān Gāoshān Chá), dried plums, cherries, fruit liqueurs,
moji (sticky rice) in almost every conceivable flavour and aboriginal crafts are sold in the
shops just back from the car park.
