Alishan Forest Railway and the Cultural Heritage Office (AFRCHO) will start tours to maple tree forests in December. They will take in colorful scenic spots in recreation areas such as Xiaoliyuanshan Lookout, to admire the colorful display of maple leaves.
In addition, the celebrated photographer, Huang Yuan-ming (黃源明), will act as a guide and teach how to take good landscape photos, the press release said.
The train interiors for the tour are made of cypress timber, the same as those built for Japan's royals, according to the press release. The tours will run on Dec. 2, 9, 16, and 23, which fall on Mondays, and will be limited to 80 passengers on each trip.
