Pretty clear they are saying Alishan is great, except for that tiny part

Salons are a dime a dozen. There is one on almost every street block. Competition is fierce. You need to build clientele and have a good location. Rent is high, very high and drives many new business owners out of business fast.
To be successful, she needs a good location, market to foreigners, build clientele, and be ready to not make much money the first year or so. Once she becomes established and has a steady flow of loyal customers, then maybe you will see profits. It is very rare to see a salon succeed with just one stylist, so she needs staff too.
Itâs a lot to take on and an uphill challenge.

Yeah itâs possible some nice places up here some are really for those prepared for long time journeys to the less traveled places. also bring a vehicle you donât mind getting scratched up and has some ground clearance if you have 4wd even better.

In the National Park by one of the ponds they have sign that says no frolicking in the water. I have no idea who told them to use the word frolicking 
Some signs have been used for target practice

Taiwan has a lot of beauty, but also Japan and wherever else is just a short flight away.
âSettling downâ is a myth - life doesnât work that way, at least not in my experience. I think of it like this, you find a nice bench to sit on, start reading your book, after a few pages, you start to feel hungry/thirsty or you need a shit/piss. What was once very comfortable, then becomes uncomfortable, especially if you decide to drink your own urine.
