Alishan Forest Railway
The Alishan Century-Old Railway
The Alishan Forest Railway was planned during the Japanese colonial period. In 1903, the Taiwan Governor-General's Office planned to develop the Alishan forest for timber transportation. They began route surveys, measurements, and planning. Construction began in 1906 by the Japanese Fujita Group but was later taken over by the government due to financial issues. In December 1912, the line from Chiayi to Erwanping was officially completed and opened, spanning a total length of 66.6 kilometers. As the forestry business expanded, the line was extended to Alishan and gradually added branch lines. Some of these branches were dismantled after the forestry business was completed, but the main line and major branches remain in operation. Currently, the operational route from Chiayi to Zhaoping is approximately 72 kilometers long and is one of the world's famous mountain railways.
