Xinzhongheng is the fastest route from Sun Moon Lake to Alishan. The scenery is beautiful and it is close to the Yushan Mountains. I am the driver of Ctrip. I can’t remember how many times I drove it. I really don’t know where the danger comes from?

Alishan has a car to go directly to Sun Moon Lake, and Sun Moon Lake has a car to go directly to Cingjing Farm. When Cingjing comes down to Taichung City, Guoguang has a car to go directly to Taoyuan Airport (about 2.30 miles away). The sunrise in Alishan starts at about 3-4 o'clock. There is a train, or there is a sunrise viewing line at Taipei Main Station (Guoguang) on weekends, you can leave at night and arrive at Alishan in the morning (remember to book early). I also live near Cingjing Farm, and I also watched the sunrise on the mountain. It is better to find Alishan in the residential dormitories over there. There is almost no place if you don’t make an appointment in advance (I just have no place to sleep, and I sleep in the lobby of Alishan for a night waiting for the child who takes the small train sunrise) Figure 1-3 Alishan, Figure 4.5 The sunrise of the B&B near Cingjing Farm

If you want to save time, you can go to Xinzhongheng, but it’s very dangerous. If you don’t take Xinzhongheng, it’s going to be a detour, and it takes four to five hours one way.

You don’t have to go to Alishan, so you won’t be in a state of rushing all the time, and you will have more fun. The sunrise of Mount Hehuan is even more beautiful, attracting many tourists from Southeast Asia to go to Cingjing Farm to watch the sunrise and snow. I've also heard about it, but haven't actually tried it.
