We have visited Railway Expert Mr. Chen, Zhao Qiang, who is passionate about railway related relics and preserves them nicely, benefitting many railway fans and that is very impressive. I am affected by his spirit. Although I cannot afford relics to preserve, my passion for railway learning tours and Mother Nature is fervent, and therefore, I asked for my parents’ permission to plan a route to take the only forest train that is still running in Taiwan – also the first cultural landscape at national level in Taiwan, Alishan Forest Railway – with my family. I am about to go on my railway journey and the plan is as follows:

Time	Itinerary
Assembling	Yuanlin Train Station at 7a.m.
7:27~8:25	Yuanlin to Chiayi (on the local train)
8:40~8:50	Go to the toilet, take a rest and wait for the train
9:00~11:30	Chiayi Station to Fencihu
11:30~12:50	Have lunch and take a break
13:00~13:40	Take a walk in Fencihu old street
14:00~16:21	Farewell, Fencihu. Head back to Chiayi
16:21~16:38	Go to the toilet and wait for the train arriving at 4:42p.m.
16:42~17:24	Go back to Yuanlin (on Tze-Chiang Limited Express)
