The Alishan National Scenic Area is probably next in popularity as a tourist destination after Sun Moon Lake and often paired with it. National Scenic Areas in Taiwan are the next tier of designated area below National Parks and focus on areas with outstanding natural or cultural beauty that are intentionally developed for sustainable tourism, green leisure, and regional economics.
The Alishan area measures 30-35km east to west and 15-20km north to south, covering 415 sq km. It covers a core wilderness of ancient cypress forests and high alpine peaks; cultural communities, encapsulating 17 traditional Han Chinese settlements and 7 indigenous Tsou tribal villages; and agricultural landscapes such as the famous high-altitude tea plantations and wasabi farms built along the mountain slopes.
