A trip to the Alishan Mountain Range is full of fun and exciting things to do.

到阿里山山脈旅遊充滿樂趣與刺激。

Of course there are views of Alishan, or Mt. Ali, and plenty of tea, but there are also many mountain trails to choose from and even places to camp.

當然，那裡能夠欣賞到阿里山的風景和許多茶葉，不過那裡也有很多登山路徑可選，甚至還有露營地。

One of the most popular treks is the Zhushan sunrise hike.

最受歡迎的步道之一是祝山觀日步道。

Not only is the hike easy, but it takes only about an hour to get to the viewing platform.

這條步道不僅好走，而且只要走一個小時左右就能抵達觀景臺。

That means you don’t have to wake up too early to catch a glimpse of the sunrise.

那意味著你不需要太早起就能看到日出。

If you want a view of the highest peak in the park, head to the Tashan Trail.

如果你想要欣賞公園裡最高峰的景色，那就前往塔山步道吧。

This is a more difficult hike, but it is rewarding.

行走這條步道比較困難，但很值得。

Tashan, as well as Yushan, Taiwan’s highest mountain, should be visible.

你應該能見到塔山以及臺灣最高峰玉山的身影

If you want to spend a bit more time in Alishan’s stunning woods, you can camp in the Shuiyang Forest.

如果你想要花多一點時間待在阿里山迷人的森林中，你可以在水漾森林裡露營。

This area was transformed by the devastating 921 earthquake in 1999, when much of the forest was flooded.

這個區域被1999年毀滅性的九二一地震大大改變了，當時這座森林有一大部分都淹水。

Most of the trees in the area remained standing but died due to the environmental impact.

該區域大多數的樹仍然矗立，不過卻因為那場環境衝擊而死亡。

Today, the forest is described as spooky and eerie because of the dead tree trunks that rise out of the lake.

如今，這座森林因從湖中聳立的死亡樹幹而被形容為陰森怪異。

If that hasn’t scared you off, you can camp by the Shuiyang Forest Lake.

如果你還沒被嚇跑，那你可以在水漾森林湖邊露營。

You’ll have to hike in with all your equipment and food, but because it is so remote—it takes about four hours to get to the campsite from the trailhead—you may have the place to yourself.

如果你還沒被嚇跑，那你可以在水漾森林湖邊露營。你必須要帶上所有裝備和食物入山，但因為它很偏遠 ── 從登山口到露營地需約四個小時 ── 你或許可以獨享那個地方。

Alishan has a reputation for being busy, but there are some places there where you can escape the crowds and enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the Alishan woods.

阿里山是出了名的人聲雜沓，但還是有一些能夠讓你逃離人群、享受阿里山森林祥和寧靜的地方。
