Applause In The Mountain

There are multiple buildings in this property, all require a bit of walking. Make sure that you don't carry a heavy suitcase. As the property is built along the mountains, some walkways can be difficult with heavy luggage. Yet, the friendly staff will drop off the luggage as close to the buildings as possible. There is no restaurant close by but the property offers hotpot dinner (one person per pot) which is pretty good, big portion too. Since the property is deep in the mountain, I would recommend aim at arriving the property before dark. Close to the property (about 20 min walk), there is a trail that leads to a spot where sunrise can be viewed. However, the signs are not that clear. Clarify with the staff the night before you go. All in all, this hotel is good, room is clean with good mountain view.

There were some ants in the room, but other than that, everything was wonderful

Clean and beautiful properly

Beds were very comfy

A decent place

Beautiful location, very helpful staff and an amazing hotpot dinner The views were amazing from the hotel.

Expectations are met

Friendly staff with nice views.

My room was very clean and well equipped. The staff were kind and helpful. The location is gorgeous.

The overall cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff. The room was spotless, and everyone we interacted with was genuinely helpful, which made the stay especially comfortable.

Extremely helpful and welcoming staff. They helped us navigate the bus schedule during our stay and schedule a taxi to catch the Alishan sunrise. It is very helpful to know some Mandarin if staying here, but one of the ladies knows enough English to help if you don't. The property is gorgeous. It is incredibly fragrant from very lush tea fields and there are coffee trees growing too. The scenery is stunning-- the sunset on our balcony was amazing. Our room was very comfortable with a balcony that overlooked the tea fields and valley below. It was very quiet, since none of the rooms share walls! Each building is free-standing, which makes it very private. I definitely recommend having a car if staying in Fushan since the bus schedule in Alishan in general is limited. Overall, this was a wonderful stay and I will absolutely be back. Next time, with a car! A huge thank you to the staff, their wonderful farm cats, and the sweet dog Ruru!

This was possibly our favorite stay of the trip. It was a little tricky to make it this far with public transit but it was so worth it! The staff of the hotel was so friendly, they went out of their way to make us feel at home. The dinner here was delicious. The surrounding area is just so beautiful. Could not reccomend this stay more.

A place where you can stay quiet and peacefully.

The room is big and clean. It’s nice and convenient to have hotpot dinner in the dinning hall. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

I loved our family room with the loft; very clean and cozy and we had our own balcony with a beautiful view of the tea plantation. The hot pot restaurant was amazing with delicious fresh veggies and was a lovely way to end the day after hiking in the misty forest. The view of sunset from the hot pot restaurant was absolutely stunning! My only reservation would be for elderly travelers as there are stairs and some steep pathways- they would need some assistance with luggage and walking. Breakfast was delicious! I’m so grateful we stayed here. Thank you!

It 9s a beautiful property, great views and nice rooms but the service is absolutely terrible. Actually there is no service at all. Anything you ask for is a NO. Nobody speaks English so very difficult to get information. More important if you have difficulty with movement , climbing etc please don’t go here. The steps re very steep, hard to maneuver and very uneven. All in all if wasn’t for the views I would have given them a terrible review.

There are lots of steps to climb, even get to the main office to check in. I had to take my case and bags with me to walk along all stairs ( no elevator), this would be hard for seniors and people with disabilities. Plus, it is hard to find the place, we missed the way, then backed to find the tiny road to turn in…

The selling point of this place is its location from where you can walk 15 minutes up a small hill to see Alishan sunrise. This advantage may be the disadvantage the same time, because for these tourists who come to Alishan first time, transportation between the Alishan park entrance (the transportation hub) and the hotel is a little bit confusing. This hotel is half hour bus-driving from the entrance and you must pre-book the hotel shuttle to pick you up at the bus station. But overall my experience there was good and the lady boss was very nice and helpful. The facility and amenity are good.

The property is inside a small village. It is equipped better than most of hotels that I had experienced, such as heated toilet seat. There is 30-40 minute walking distance from bus stop, the owner drives a Mercedes to pickup guests. Room is very clean, bed is large and comfortable. Breakfast is free. Dinner is Japanese style hot pot only.

Great place near many Alishan staples, staff is super friendly, and nice view of the sunrise/sunset
