Alishan is one of the five major mountain ranges in Taiwan. Alishan is not a mountain, but refers to the mountainous area in general. It has had abundant red cypress and cypress since ancient times. However, it became Taiwan's largest forest farm from 1912 until the late 1960s. After logging by the Japanese and Nationalist governments, the original cypress forest was almost completely cut down. Today, there are nearly 40 giant red cypress trees remaining on the first and second phase giant tree group plank roads, which remind people of the grandeur and sacredness of the sacred forest in the past. The tallest of them, the "Alishan Fragrant Forest Sacred Tree", is 45 meters high, 12.3 meters in circumference, and about 2,300 years old. It is a must-see when visiting Alishan.
