Alishan is located at the high altitude of 1300~1500 meters mountain area in Chiayi county. This mountain area is surrounded by clouds and mists through out the year. The temperature is usually cool and cold.There is usually sufficient sunshine in the morning but the temperature drops drastically when clouds and mists are formed in the afternoon. The huge temperature difference between day time and night time causes the slow growth of tea trees.
