前幾天都是大雨滂沱，當我們來到時晴空萬里
也在離開時，下起大雨，猶如山神含著淚告訴我們一定要再來
It had been raining heavily the past few days, and the sky was clear when we arrived
When we were leaving, it rained heavily, as if the mountain god told us with tears that we must come again
阿里山眠月線歷史背景 Backgroud history
阿里山眠月線為日治時期修築的鐵路，目的為搬運砍伐的巨木而建造，而後發展為觀光，也有小火車提供載客服務。眠月線為其中一個支線，止於石猴站，全長「9.2公里」，沿途共經過「24個橋樑與12個隧道」。
The Alishan Mianyue Line is a railway built during the Japanese colonial period. It was built for the transportation of giant trees, and then developed as a tourist spot. There are also trains for passenger services. The Mianyue Line is one of the branch lines, ending at Shihou Station, with a total length of “9.2 kilometers” and a total of “24 bridges and 12 tunnels” along the way.
1999年因為921大地震，鐵路坍方而停駛，而後經過一番修復曾經短暫恢復通車，不料2008年又遭遇八八風災再度損毀，至今未再復駛。由於其平坦且優美的景色，使其成為著名的景點。
In 1999, the railway was suspended due to the collapse of the “921 earthquake”. After some repairs, it was briefly restored to traffic. However, in 2008, it was damaged again by the typhoon and has not resumed operation. It is a famous attraction due to its flat and beautiful scenaries.
行前準備 Preparation
由於眠月線為台灣特有種一葉蘭的保護區，因此須先上林務局網站申請入園許可，選擇區域：「台灣一葉蘭自然保留區」。
※管制人數為每日500人
Since the Mianyue Line is a protected area for the endemic species of Orchid japonica in Taiwan, it is necessary to go to the website of the Forest Service to apply for permission to enter the park, and select the area: “Taiwan Echidonia Natural Reserve”.
※The number of people under control is 500 people per day
建議需要帶的物品：
- 頭燈：因為有許多隧道且非常陰暗，建議要攜帶
- 登山鞋或雨鞋：路上多處泥濘，真心建議不要像我一樣New Balance，回去洗得很痛苦
- 行動糧：可以買些巧克力、麵包、鹽糖等，隨時補充
- 水： 網上許多人建議2000c.c，因人而異，我個人是600c.c.搞定
（以上建議為單攻，若要扎營可參考其他）
由於近期意外事故不斷，讓阿里山林業鐵路及文化資產管理處決定，於2022年的1月17日至4月30日封閉施整修，此次封閉將規畫更換、加寬既有木板，增加止滑效果。
也難怪我們爬起來很順，跟過去相比超級安全
Suggested items:
- Headlights: Because tunnels are very dark, it is suggested to bring
- Hiking shoes or rain boots: There are many muddy places on the road.
- Action food: you can buy some chocolate, bread, and salt candy, etc., and eat them at any time
- Water: Many people recommend 2000c.c, it depends, I personally bring with 600c.c. water.
(The above suggestion is for one day trip, if you want to camp, you can refer to others)
Due to recent accidents, the Alishan Forestry Railway and Cultural Assets Management Office decided to close for renovations from January 17 to April 30, 2022. This closure would plan to replace and widen the existing wooden boards to increase the Anti-slip effect.
No wonder we climbed up very smoothly, super safe compared to the past.
眠月線登山路線 Walking Route
阿里山眠月線步行路線一般以「沼平站」為起點，沼平站同時為祝山線與眠月線的起點車站，兩條支線共用約3公里的鐵路後才分開，抵達此處會看到聳動的告示
The walking route of Alishan Mianyue Line generally starts from “Numaping Station”, which is also the starting point of Zhushan Line and Mianyue Line. The two branch lines share about 3 kilometers of railway before they separate. When you arrive here, you will see to the notice
沿著鐵軌一直行走～
Keep goning!
走到過去坍方處，這裏也是暴雨後最多人受困的地方
Go through the collapse. The place is that the most people are trapped after the rainstorm
接著沒多久就會進入隧道，其中一個隧道最長，裡面也有土石坍方，這時非常需要頭燈的協助
It won’t take long for you to enter the tunnels, one of which is the longest, and there are collapses in it. At this time, you need the assistance of a headlight.
出洞穴後抵達過去月台
After leaving the cave, reach the platform
沿路的鐵軌經重新修築後安全了許多
The tracks along the road are much safer after being rebuilt
洞穴內的積水有時很深，強烈建議要登山鞋
The water in the cave is sometimes deep, hiking shoes are strongly recommended
抵達終點石猴站
Arrive at Stone Monkey Station
離開前在大門口紀錄神聖的時刻
Capture the sacred moment at the gate before leaving
回嘉義市區的路上，濃霧跟大雨滂沱
On the way back to downtown Chiayi, there is fog and heavy rain
總結 Summary
本身是登山菜雞，這是以個人角度做的評分，覺得難度中下，全長9.2公里的眠月線，一路起伏僅約100公尺，相當平緩好走，且夏天山上溫度10多度，非常舒服，我們11點左右出發抵達終點大概兩點初，單程行走時間約為3-4小時，回程聽見打雷聲，我們加緊腳步，僅花一半的時間回到「沼平站」。
I am an entry-level of mountaineering. The following is a personal rating. I think it is mid-level of difficulty. The 9.2-kilometer Mianyue line has only about 100 meters of height difference. It is quite gentle and easy to walk. In summer, the temperature on the mountain is about 10 degrees, which is very Comfortable, we started at around 11:00 and arrived at the end at about 2:00. The one-way walking time is about 3-4 hours. On the return journey, we heard thunder, so we stepped up our pace and only spent half the time back to “Numaping Station”.
