After 15 years of restoration following severe damages caused by Typhoon Morakot in 2009, the Alishan Forest Railway in Taiwan will resume full line operation starting on July 6th. Tickets were quickly sold out within 20 minutes for direct trips from Chiayi to Alishan before July 10th, showcasing its immense popularity. Local authorities and the tourism industry are hopeful that the railway's revival will boost tourism, but there are concerns about sustainable operations and environmental protection. The Alishan Forest Railway, which is over a century old, is excitedly back in service, offering a scenic five-hour journey from Chiayi to Alishan for NT$600 for full fare and NT$300 for half fare.
