Plot Summary

More than a hundred years ago, Alishan was still a primitive forest shrouded in clouds and mist. In 1899, Japanese people discovered this primitive cypress forest from the indigenous people. Afterwards, the Japanese wrote nearly forty years of logging history on Alishan. The Alishan Forest Railway, which was built by the Japanese to transport cypress trees down the mountain, unexpectedly became a legend that enriches the forest landscape and cultural beauty. The forest railway, with a total length of 71.4 kilometers, has built 77 bridges and opened 50 tunnels. The stunning beauty of Alishan has also brought spiritual shock to the world. The ecological conservation areas of "Wishing Mountains Sunrise", "Giant Wood Forest" with eternal life, and "Danayi Valley" remind people everywhere to treat nature well and establish standards for sustainable living resources. The high mountain tea from Alishan is renowned both domestically and internationally as a top-quality tea. Along the Forest Railway, the "Fenqihu" railway bento at an altitude of 1400 meters still lingers in the memories of many Taiwanese people today. The cultural value of the Alishan Forest Railway, along with the Indian Darjeeling Himalayan Railway and the Peruvian Andes Railway, being listed as world-class mountain climbing railways, is actively striving to be included in the World Heritage list.
