During the Chinese New Year holiday, I spent a day exploring amazing Chiayi City, Chiayi County, and Alishan Mountain. 在農曆新年假期期間，我花了一天時間探索了奇妙的嘉義市，嘉義縣和阿里山。
I live in Chiayi. You can go to 嘉義縣：故宮南院、蒜頭糖廠、新港北港、東石漁人碼頭、布袋漁港、中正大學、梅山、瑞里、 嘉義市區：檜意森活村、北門驛、嘉義車庫園區、森林之歌、獄政博物館、嘉義公園射日塔 food：新港[ 新港鴨肉羹、蒸餃 ]、民雄[ 鵝肉 ]、東石布袋[ 蚵仔煎 ]、市區[ 雞肉飯 、御香屋、黑人魯熟肉、阿娥豆花、阿岸米糕、小妞滷味] If you need more intro,I am here.
Wonderful video! It was interesting to see how well developed and maintained the roads and tunnels up the mountain are. Loved seeing the different vegetation along the way and the drone footage of the tea fields was amazing! Chiayi and the surrounding area seems like a very interesting place to visit.
Hi Wes! You are welcome. Anyway, I just said out the truth. You are really professional, you can consider being a reporter or host in the future! Your speech is really good, I think that is your talent! And you introduction is great and detailed, watching your video is like watching a popular TV show. Now I am very sure you are top-notch. And you are more humble than the other RUclipsrs.
Chiayi is my hometown, I have visited Alishan mountain many times. If you have more time in next visiting, then you can stay there for one night, and take a small train to Zhusan at 3 AM and wait for sunrise, you can see many stars are dancing in the sky, it is a happy moment! I just find your video and feel so happy to watch all of your videos, thanks!
Thanks much for sharing your video. Great video! Short but cover everything. My partner and I both are going to take Alishan Forest Railway and watch sunrise in Oct. I was born in Chiayi but had never took the AFR before. Heard it's pretty cool to explore Alisan in this way.
Nice video for my hometown and thanks! Love it! BTW, we didn't grow up using the term Chinese New Year in Chinese nor Taiwanese languages. We said Lunar New Year or Spring Festival. Later in my life, I learned that other Asians who also celebrate the Lunar New Year were very upset with the widely misused term.
4:40 It could be China Fir. And there would be some Cryptomeria-like Taiwania and Japanese Cedar too. All of these three are common species in Taiwan plantation forest.
That is my favorite mountain in Taiwan, Next time you can get up there a bit late. There is cherry blossom from the middle of March to the middle of April.
Very well done video ! I totally enjoyed it. I can tell by your accent that you were Canadian right at the beginning of the video and are probably from British Columbia based on your referencing.
I was thinking of summer months as well but already booked for mid March, which they say still the best for seeing Sakura trees bloom in the area.. I hope the fog won't cover them too much even upclose 😆
I have to tell you that lunar new year is more appropriate than Chinese new year because a lot of people's nationality are not China but they have chinese cultures and lunar is the ancient way that ancient chinese farmers to count days but those Chinese farmers' decendant may not Chinese anymore. So, use lunar new year instead of chinese new year is more gereral.

很開心你來嘉義，我是嘉義人。很佩服你們一路往阿里山森林遊樂區，真的非常遠從嘉義市出發，至少也要接近3小時，我有嘗試過，是滿累的。我喜歡往山上旅遊，但要注意騎機車的山路路況，坑洞、路面濕滑，注意落石，閃車安全。還有溫度的問題，每上升1000m，降6～7℃。騎機車要準備更多厚實的外套。我提供資訊，如果要往阿里山森林遊樂區，可以運用大眾運輸工具，可搭嘉義火車站的森林火車，早上8點45分會有一班(一天只有一班(來回))，目的地奮起湖，到目的地後再轉車(公車或是計程車)，我坐過森林小火車，沿路看風景，非常漂亮；另一個是在嘉義市火車站前，運用前往阿里山森林遊樂區的公車，一天只有10班，以上，供大家參考。
感謝您所提供的所有信息！
我小時候就挑戰過了
從嘉義體育館出發騎腳踏車到阿里山森林遊樂區...
早上八點出阿回家剛好吃晚飯...
當時國中二年級.....有夠中二的
@@SOJL 腳踏車...好厲害！
想問問一天遊奮起湖十阿里山如何安排好？谢谢。😃（我是香港人，全用大眾交通工具。）
@@ookkookk5121 不曉得您是怎麼來嘉義？如果是搭火車，就直接在嘉義火車站下車。在車站室內的旅遊櫃台可詢問往阿里山森林遊樂區的相關資訊，很方便。個人是推薦搭森林火車，我重新查一下，可搭阿里山線，第一班是09：00。如果是當天當場買票，可以出發前30分買票。如果買預購票，就…參考官方網站：afrch.forest.gov.tw/0000057 )，畢竟它是目前世界三個還保留有森林火車的鐵路。沿途可以看山林地貌的變化，海拔越高，林樹的種類越來越不同。
因為目的地是奮起湖，所以到目的地剛好是11：30，可以吃奮起湖便當。然後逛一下老街，休憩2∼3小時後，再往阿里山森林遊樂區。可搭公車，要等公車，需注意時間。或是搭私人計程車，它是滿車才出發(小巴，九人座那一種，費用我忘了多少，好像NT100？NT200？) ，但我個人不鼓勵搭，因為私人經營，雖然方便，但沒有保險。)到阿里山森林遊樂區，如果要當天過夜，要提早網路預約阿里山旅館或民宿。因我沒過夜經驗，所以相關住宿資訊，麻煩您做功課了。
把雪松拍的好美^^
騎機車來回阿里山，太厲害了👍
下次我會乘坐山地火車
很用心
看到Davies對延路的事物和 去小鎮介紹時，都會去探究原因及歷史。
😮好酷，連本地人都不一定想騎上去
決定這樣的方式衝阿里山很酷
影片我反覆看了五次
節奏明快介紹清楚有力 製作用心
很有質感的影片👍👍👍
你太棒了，謝謝！ 5次...！
我在阿里山住過2年，既然你要再回到阿里山拍攝一次，跟你說一個秘境，就是98公里處的二萬坪車站，救國團阿里山青年活動中心的所在地，前面有一座斷厓，每到傍晚看夕陽是一片美景，尤其是再有颱風將臨之前，雲海浩蕩，氣慨萬千，雲海被夕陽染成萬紫千紅，有時又悠悠緩緩，美不勝收，(抱歉打完才意識到用了成語，你可能看不懂)
雲海高度就在你腳下，抬頭望又是天外天，很美，建議你找個好日子去拍，不過阿里山 事實上是無法一日遊的，只是騙一些沒去過的，既然你已經去過了，應該就懂得。
還有謝謝你將台灣拍得這樣美。跟我們一起愛這片大地。
二萬坪在88公里才對喲！
二萬坪太美了！很值得一看，附近有巨石神木也很驚豔！
嘉義人+1謝謝你介紹嘉義，也看到你用空拍機拍攝很美^^讚

If you need more intro,I am here.
Amazing, thank you so much!
Wow !! Thank you for letting us know about all of these special foods and places in Chiayi .
下次去阿里山要看日出喔，還有要坐小火車！
Wonderful video! It was interesting to see how well developed and maintained the roads and tunnels up the mountain are. Loved seeing the different vegetation along the way and the drone footage of the tea fields was amazing! Chiayi and the surrounding area seems like a very interesting place to visit.
It was beautiful! Wish I had more time to explore that area.
@Sue Welcome to Taiwan someday. Wes will be the best tour guide. 😊
Thank you very much. I visited Taiwan quite a few years ago and would like to visit again. It is a very beautiful country.
I like your video more and more, you are one of the best RUclipsrs in Taiwan indeed
.
Wow, such a compliment! Thanks, Gianni
Hi Wes! You are welcome. Anyway, I just said out the truth.
You are really professional, you can consider being a reporter or host in the future!
Your speech is really good, I think that is your talent!
And you introduction is great and detailed, watching your video is like watching a popular TV show.
Now I am very sure you are top-notch. And you are more humble than the other RUclipsrs.
蜜蕃薯，滿滿的兒時回憶，現都市很難看到了😢
謝謝分享美麗的景色！阿里山真的很值得走一趟👍
那個紅薯很好吃 :)
Silly C. 台中夜市還很多
我們家偶爾會去阿里山走登山步道，傍晚5、6點下山的時候常常起霧，有時路都看不到了只能沿著地上的黃線慢慢開，騎機車感覺有點危險。
不過阿里山真的很漂亮又舒服。
Chiayi is my hometown, I have visited Alishan mountain many times.
If you have more time in next visiting, then you can stay there for one night, and take a small train to Zhusan at 3 AM and wait for sunrise, you can see many stars are dancing in the sky, it is a happy moment!
I just find your video and feel so happy to watch all of your videos, thanks!
我也試過從高雄騎到阿里山過，從平地到山上，幾乎是歷經春夏秋冬
哇～騎車到阿里山，太厲害了，奮起湖的lunch box 很好吃，嘉義市的沙鍋魚頭也非常棒。
Wow, great travel journal and the description is spot on on each travel highlight point. Kudos!
WES的口白....真的是完美....節奏的掌握也很好....也都有點出各地方的特色跟歷史....準備工作應該很辛苦(太流暢了,看起來好像還有腳本>____
Thanks for watching! I would love to be an ambassador :)
真厲害，有些地方連台灣人也沒去過，你已經很深入台灣了
機車騎阿里山 要特別小心 超車逆向的
來嘉義就該吃碗雞肉飯啊！ 另外家樂福夜市也可以去看看。
東石漁港有海產可以吃。
夜市很棒！我沒帶相機，太擁擠了。
@@WesDaviestravel 這位介紹的都很讚!!文化路夜市的盡頭是女子高中，旁邊是小學，所以文化路夜市比較"簡單"，家樂福夜市的攤子玩樂的什麼都有，吃的也很多樣。我推薦火車站前黃招牌的火雞肉飯，不過各家火雞肉飯支持者都有。嘉義豆漿豆花、涼麵是特色。東石漁港的炸蚵仔......現在想到就流口水
很有質感的影片，看了很開心
我很高興你喜歡它
到阿里山應該住一或兩天，好好欣賞阿里山美景
謝謝分享台灣!諸事順心平安喜樂。
That was really interesting- will have to go sometime
Thanks much for sharing your video. Great video! Short but cover everything. My partner and I both are going to take Alishan Forest Railway and watch sunrise in Oct. I was born in Chiayi but had never took the AFR before. Heard it's pretty cool to explore Alisan in this way.
我是一個喜愛遊山玩水和拍照的人，阿里山也是一個我常去造訪拍照的地方。
從大景點、原住民文化體驗到深山茶園、山林步道等等...
阿里山境內其實可以遊走的地方真的非常多，甚至有不少祕境。
而且不論天氣好壞，只要沒下雨，在山上都會有不同的美，
這也是我喜歡常往山上跑的原因之一。
另外，建議4~6月去阿里山氣溫會比較舒適些，但還是要注意保暖!!
如果有需要景點或美食的訊息，也歡迎交流。
最後，也感謝你這麼用心的記錄台灣，你的每部影片都很觸動人心，
我很喜歡你的影片，希望能繼續看到你所記錄的一切，加油!!
Thank you for your encouragement! Alishan in April-June sounds wonderful.
騎機車上阿里山就花很多時間了
晚上騎山路還蠻危險的，下次可以早點出門
阿里山上有小火車可以搭，可以看神木，最老的神木是3000年以上
我真的很喜歡古樹
享受這個視頻👏👏💪👍👍
嘉義是很棒的地方
有漂亮的風景跟好吃的食物
我同意！
多年前有去過奮起湖，謝謝Wes Davies
的分享，讓我懷念起來!
迷人的小鎮
It’s incredible you ride a scooter to go up to Ah Li Shan and back down. I like the scene where you showed the thin tall tree forest.
嘉義的藤寮社區別有一番風味!!值得一遊喔!!
阿里山真是一個世外桃源，我超喜歡！
祝你每一段旅程都愉快,旅途中要注意行車安全!I wish you every happy journey, pay attention to driving safety during your trip!
I'm glad you made it down safely! Also - that goose egg!!!!!
Massive!
Nice video for my hometown and thanks! Love it! BTW, we didn't grow up using the term Chinese New Year in Chinese nor Taiwanese languages. We said Lunar New Year or Spring Festival. Later in my life, I learned that other Asians who also celebrate the Lunar New Year were very upset with the widely misused term.
I totally know what you mean. I didn’t realize it at the time but I’ve since learned there is a better way to call the holiday. Thanks for watching!
好多年沒上阿里山了、不知道改變大不大。。。要入山的人，建議夏天去 請帶上防曬乳 以及薄外套或一件長袖、冬天去請帶上保暖毛帽/外套/手套/圍巾。。。到阿里山最好是過夜、一天來回太趕了。。如果可以到山上鄒族部落過夜的話，可以看到觀光客看不到的景色、體驗部落的簡單、純樸生活。達邦、特富野、森林、竹林、瀑布、溪流裡的小蝦小魚、竹筒飯、還有一群小朋友們 跳進藍綠色的湖里游泳。。好美好美。。。已經過了20多年了 我仍然懷念我山上鄒族的朋友。。還有一年一度的山上豐年祭。。。。建議入山朋友 最好還是需要有當地人介紹或領隊、以免迷路危險。。
嘉義不錯。我在那裡渡過3年高中。
阿里山的姑娘美如水！真的！（Except me ！）
Good for you, ottawa still snow piles everywhere, enjoy Taiwan’s spring!
I can only imagine! Winter here lasted about one week. It went down to 14 celcius...XD
又等到你影片囉，很棒來到嘉義
可以多走出高雄以外去走走逛逛
台灣還有很多你意想不到人事物
等著你去發掘，我期待新影片😊
我下次去哪兒旅行？
@@WesDaviestravel中彰投雲嘉南，可以往北走，下次往雲林，南投，彰化，台中，直到環台一圈😊👍💪
阿里山最好早上去中午過後準備下山，下午很常起霧
下次
建議您下次可以從阿里山繼續走新中橫公路，到塔塔加再到水里或日月潭。但路途很長，要規劃好時間。
經過水里可以去車程逛逛
也可以經過竹山或鹿谷來逛逛阿~
溪頭 杉林溪 只是假日人很多..
台灣真的是很多風景可以跑
Love your video
你也太勇敢了；啊里山一天來回
我旅途愉快
阿里山的霧氣跟冷度讓騎摩托車變得很可怕啊。
在夜裡開車回家是可怕的
4:40 It could be China Fir. And there would be some Cryptomeria-like Taiwania and Japanese Cedar too. All of these three are common species in Taiwan plantation forest.
台灣的山區在下午3、4點就會開始起霧。一般車輛都趕在這時間前到達。機車在霧裡行進，極危險的。
Wow!!! Night ride from 阿里山 to downtown 嘉義 is really a tough ride.
Wes good job . You doing excellent ❤️💕🇹🇼
Thanks, Hsu!
台灣山路繞行有時會有對面來車(超車)， 要多注意安全，祝在台灣一切順心 快樂!!
我會小心的，謝謝！
傍晚過後。山裡雲霧會讓山路更不好騎.安全很重要。
That is my favorite mountain in Taiwan, Next time you can get up there a bit late. There is cherry blossom from the middle of March to the middle of April.
去阿里山沒有過夜太可惜了，看日出跟雲海，下次要記得穿多一點，做好保暖
下次 XD
We gave it Alishan a miss as the weather is really hit or miss. But Chiayi was really nice.
那家砂鍋魚頭，我個人不覺得好吃。台灣的高山還是要安排兩天行程比較好，比較不會太趕。日月潭教堂，步道，環湖車道，遊湖，也很不錯。
也太厲害了👍
Thank you!
Did you try the Turkey Rice? If not, you need to try next time.
台灣的山上晚上真的很寒冷，你以後騎機車上山要帶保暖衣服帽子手套的好嗎！常常看你呆呆的冒險 會擔心。。。
拍得很不錯‥
拍的很棒喔～阿里山真的很美有時間一定要在上去走走喔～～～^_^
嘉義 ...
基本上...都是 陽光 日 。
Davies 好像在台灣待越久 越來越胖了喔😄 食物太好吃了😋
brave you are,and good adventure.
這星期開始櫻花季了,可以上阿里山賞花健行唷!!如果對咖啡很講究,可以去樂野品嘗高級精品的在地咖啡
有機會拍台灣傳統制作茶葉，台灣人愛喝茶，大部份茶莊都有珍藏版茶葉而且有些都幾十年老字祖傳茶莊😀
Very well done video ! I totally enjoyed it. I can tell by your accent that you were Canadian right at the beginning of the video and are probably from British Columbia based on your referencing.
I was born in British Columbia but moved to Ontario when I was three. I wonder what a Canadian accent sounds like...to me it’s just normal :)
Can’t wait to see your next video😁
My Chiang Mai, Thailand trip video is going live at 6PM tonight :)
晚上起霧山路騎機車... 感覺滿危險的....
很可怕
謝謝你的影片，讓我知道下次我的外國朋友來到台灣時，如何跟他們介紹台灣。
隨意分享我的視頻，謝謝！
下次可以去拍阿里山的隙頂的雲海
記得看日出雲海
Nice video bro! 跟你分享一個小訣竅，下一次遇到寒冷的天氣，你可以去便利商店購買一件輕便型雨衣，然後將它穿在你的外套裡面。That trick is super useful for driving in cold weather. ;)
Awesome, trick! I'll try that next time.
Nice guide! When's the best time to go to Alishan to have a clear view of the mountain ranges?
Hmmm, I would say summer is the best, maybe June or July before the rainy season starts
I was thinking of summer months as well but already booked for mid March, which they say still the best for seeing Sakura trees bloom in the area.. I hope the fog won't cover them too much even upclose 😆
@@WesDaviestravel Thanks for the insight man! Truly inspired by your love of Taiwan. Will definitely explore more of the country!
So glad u like Taiwan!
你真的很用功,影片裡的很多事物你都會認真去找資料,然後介紹給大家,希望你繼續努力加油。P.S 去山上一定要帶一件厚外套
我喜歡介紹我在台灣找到的所有有趣的東西
good, very local
Did you pass through 梅山?
I see some familiar scenery
歐~~去奮起湖一定要吃奮起湖甜甜圈！ 超好吃~有機會可以試試
嘉義住了十幾年也沒上過阿里山哈哈哈
Alishan Mountain is a redundant way to call it
加油
wow that's huge egg.
It was massive!
I been chiayi 2 yrs ago chinse new year2017..visit sis in law n wife fmily at kelung n toayuan..im from Brunei
Beautiful view❤️
It's so gorgeous in those mountains
you must also try 武嶺（but careful it is cold)
你懂好多喔 好敬佩你
Two famous meals you had in this video, one was Fenhihu lunch box, another was Lin's fish head soup.
Welcome here!
Delicious :)
很好奇，來台灣一段時間了，有後悔想回去的時候嗎
My high school days long ago in嘉義
Nice!
歡迎你來我的家鄉
Thank you!
在山裡我並不喜歡看到很多檳榔樹，只要是對水土保持有影響的都很厭惡，大自然是會反撲的，人類自己造孽最後不要只會怪政府
i go to alishan two time fist time by train scond time by drive and the thousand year tree
Next time I'll take the train. I really want to see the old tree as well.
嘉義，還有“雞肉飯”，非常好吃，建議可以嘗試看看，在地非常有名，推薦一家店叫”噴水雞肉飯”
嘉義在地人都不會去吃你推薦的那間，那是給觀光客吃的。不信的話你上谷歌看網友評價
Next time you can try go to 👉m.facebook.com/hanavillagekitchen/
TOO COLD man, you're a Canadian.
I have to tell you that lunar new year is more appropriate than Chinese new year because a lot of people's nationality are not China but they have chinese cultures and lunar is the ancient way that ancient chinese farmers to count days but those Chinese farmers' decendant may not Chinese anymore. So, use lunar new year instead of chinese new year is more gereral.
看到你只穿短袖時，就有點擔心像上次在屏東山上那樣溫度下降，冷的受不了，果然緯度偏北、海拔高度越高更是冷。你要記得要去台灣高山區一定要多一件保暖衣物，不管冬天、夏天，尤其你又騎機車，還有外套最好是淺色或有反光的(買個反光貼紙貼在外套上XD)，晚上山區太暗真的很危險，希望你旅途愉快平安
太可惜了到阿里山應該要住一晚
台灣山上種植很多檳榔，但是大面積的種植檳榔樹對於山坡地有很大的危害，
檳榔樹的根很短很淺，檳榔農砍掉了原本的樹木，大量種植檳榔，
導致山坡的土石沒有強壯的樹根保護，
到了颱風季節、或是雨季，很容易因為雨量過大導致山坡地土石崩塌，形成山崩、土石流，
2009年莫拉克颱風引發土石洪流，造成高雄小林村滅村，500多人被活埋，
很大一個原因就是附近的山坡上大量的種植檳榔樹，山坡負荷不了巨大的雨量引發這場悲劇。
除此之外台灣各地颱風來襲時發生土石流，都跟山坡地過度開發脫離不了關係。
檳榔並不是台灣的原生物種，原產於馬來西亞，
身為台灣人真的很希望這種樹可以在台灣消失。
我也沒去過阿里山，台灣有很多美麗的山，但路都很彎所以要注意安全，有機會也會安排去阿里山看看，謝謝你的分享👍
騎車走紫雲 光華 奮起湖上阿里山喔！ 讚啦！ 很像在地人會走的路程阿
偶爾會走那條啦 呵呵
