After having flown in to Kaohsiung, 杨丕源 Yang Piyuan took the train to Chiayi. The photos above were taken at the 高雄车站 Kaohsiung Station.
Chiayi serves as an important gateway to Alishan. The Alishan Forest Railway, a century old mountain climbing railway, starts here.
The Qing (during Kangxi Emperor's reign) established "Zhuluoshan" as a defensive walled town. This marks the founding of Chiayi. In 1787 CE, the Qianlong Emperor renamed the city Chiayi, meaning "Praise Righteousness" in honour of its citizens' loyalty.
The photos below were taken in Chiayi.
飞到高雄后，杨丕源乘火车去嘉义。以上照片拍摄于高雄车站 。
嘉义是通往阿里山的重要门户。阿里山森林铁路，一条有百年历史的登山铁路，从这里开始。
清朝（康熙皇帝统治时期）建立了“朱罗山”作为防御城墙。这标志着嘉义的成立。公元1787年，乾隆皇帝将嘉义更名为嘉义，意思是“赞美正 义”，以纪念其公民的忠诚。
以下照片拍摄于嘉义。
