Dulishan Spiral Railway
獨立山
The famous three-loop spiral and zigzag sections of the Alishan Forest Railway. You can experience them by train or walk the trail.
Dulishan is located in Zhuqi Township. Here the Alishan Forest Railway climbs about 200 meters around the mountain in three spiral loops, then reverses in a zigzag to exit the mountain. It is a classic engineering feat among the world's mountain railways. As the little train passes, you can see Shutoupu Station below from the window three times. You can also walk the Dulishan Trail, about 3.5 kilometers long, which passes observation platforms, bamboo groves, and railway tunnels. The one-way hike from Shutoupu Station or Dulishan Station takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.
