After our invigorating hike in Alishan, Gabriel and I hopped on the bus down the mountains. As we neared the Mist of Trails, Gabriel pointed out a few afternoon tea spots that he saved on his Google Maps. Among them, 佐一茶屋 caught my attention.

What makes this place truly special is its elusive charm in Alishan.

Despite the plethora of glowing 5-star reviews on Google Maps, it's surprisingly absent from the web, with only an Instagram presence.

Drawn by the promise of breathtaking views and tantalizing food we saw in the Google photos, Gabriel and I couldn't resist the allure of this hidden gem. And so, our adventure unfolded!

* Please note that I'm not certain if 佐一茶屋 translates to Saichi Chaya, as the restaurant, despite its strong Japanese influence, features Chinese characters. I plan to contact the owners via Instagram to confirm.
