On the way to Alishan 阿裡山沿路景點 (3.11.12)

Met my friend at Chiayi train station and set off for Alishan. We stopped at a few attractions along the way to Alishan.

First destination: 吳鳳廟 Wu Feng Temple. Wu Feng is a person who stopped the aborigines from practicing human sacrifice by the aborigines by sacrificing himself.

Second destination: 地久吊橋 Di Jiu Diao Qiao. There is 2 bridges, one named 地久吊橋，the other is 天長吊橋，together they form 天長地久。However, 天長吊橋 is closed as it was partially destroyed due to some natural disaster so we could only walk 地久吊橋。

Third destination: 石棹 Shizhuo. We wanted to take a bus from here to 奮起湖 but unfortunately, the bus was only available at specific timings which we won't able to meet. So we walked around Shizhuo for a while and continued our way up to Alishan. There are a few tea plantations around Shizhuo.
