Our driver/guide was named Randy, and he was very nice. He picked us up at our hotel, and since it was the day we arrived, let us rest (even offering me a pillow) in the car. He told us the history of Sun Moon Lake, showed us a restaurant to try President Fish and took us to a lovely church and temple. He dropped us off at our hotel and picked us up early to take us to Alishan. He was an expert driver, driving to Alishan is very windy, and took us to a quick restaurant which served beef noodles. He showed us exactly what to do to find the train to Alishan and drove us back to our hotel in Taipei. He also did a fantastic job of taking photos of my husband and I. If you want to start off your trip to Taiwan basking in nature and calm, I suggest this trip. It's so much easier with a driver than trying to take the train or bus on your own.
