-> Alishan. 1 to 2 nights stay at Alishan. Where to stay and should we join the guided tours/activities there?

Just FYI, Alishan was hit pretty hard by a typhoon last year, and the train line there is out of commission until at least the end of the year.

Hotels at Alishan are of a muchness, but see Wikitravel for a few pointers.
