阿里山简介
阿里山列为台湾风景区之一，美景纷陈早为人所称道，因此有“不到阿里山，不知阿里山之美，不知阿里山之富，更不知阿里山之伟大”的说法。阿里山的铁路可与“阿里四景”（日出、云海、晚霞、森林）合称“五奇”。铁路全长72公里，却由海拔30米上升到2450米，坡度之大举世罕见。阿里山国家森林游乐区位于嘉义市东方75公里，地处海拔2000公尺以上，东临玉山山脉与玉山国家公园相邻，四周高山环列，气候凉爽，平均气温为摄氏10.6度，夏季平均14.3度，冬季平均气温6.4度。
天还没亮，我们就起床了，虽然好想睡多一会儿，但阿里山的日出是不等人，难得来到这里，懒睡的我也乖乖就范，加上我也好想看日出！到达火车站时，已是人山人海，廖导帮我们买登山火车票后，我们也赶快排队去了。

A Short History of Cameron Highlands?!
Cameron Highlands was named after William Cameron, a British government surveyor who stumbled accross plateau in 1885 during a mapping expedition on the Titiwangsa Range. Failing to mark his discovery on the map. the location of the plateau was finally confirmed by subsequent expeditions after which Sir Hugh Low suggested that this would be an ideal location for a retreat and farmland. A narrow path to the highlands was then cut through the dense jungles. Until 1925, Sir George Maxwell visited the highlands and decided to develop it as hill station …
