Chiayi is the gateway to Alishan. Small city, big character.
Train Station
The old train station is beautiful - red brick, colonial style. Its been preserved as a cultural site.
I sat on a bench, watching people come and go. The station has seen decades of travelers, each with their own story.
Hinoki Village
A preserved Japanese-era cypress wood village. Wooden buildings, coffee shops, craft stores.
The smell of cypress wood is calming. I walked through slowly, imagining life 80 years ago.
Tur Rice
Chiayi is famous for turkey rice. Simple: white rice, sliced turkey, a drizzle of sauce. But the flavor is incredible.
Sometimes the simplest food is the most memorable.
Conclusion
Chiayi isnt a glamorous city. But it has a warmth that big cities lack. I left with a full stomach and a light heart.
