Chaiyi

The easiest way to get to Alishan is to by public bus. You can buy the bus ticket (台灣好行7322B) a day in advance using a kiosk at any convenience store.

Chiayi is a relatively small city and its HSR (High Speed Railway) station is located about 30 minutes away from the city center (although Google Maps would say one hour and it did not know about the free shuttle).
