Chiayi City
Chiayi is a southwestern plains city with layered Indigenous, Qing and Japanese-era names. It suits travelers interested in the region’s urban history.
Chiayi’s Hinoki Village makes the city’s railway and Alishan forestry history visible in preserved Japanese-era timber houses near Beimen Station. Walk the compact complex before an onward mountain trip, then use the rest of the day to explore the city rather than treating it only as an interchange.
Useful to know
Give the city its own time if interested in its history, rather than treating it only as a transit point.
Use Chiayi as a separate urban base when planning an onward trip into the Alishan area.
