In the morning at 5am, we gathered at the hotel lobby to wait for the driver to fetch us.The driver drove us to many interesting places and landmarks up the Alishan Mountain. Later, the driver dropped us at a place where it is the best place to take the sunrise.

Next, we went back to our hotel and near the Alishan Visitors Area there are drivers that offered to bring you on a half day tour near Alishan. We took the package tour to Fencihu and other landmarks. We ate the Ai Yu Jelly at Ai Yu Bo House, the popiah ice cream and the Fencihu Railway lunch box.

We took a train to Kaoshiung and mrt to the hotel. Upon reaching the hotel at 6pm, I gave cherry a call and she and her sister, Fiona brought us to Qi Jin for seafood feast. The seafood over there was fresh and alive when we place our orders. Finally, we went to a night market to shop around.
At about 11pm, we took the mrt back to the hotel.
