觸口包車自由行.
番路是阿里山與嘉義來往要道,受限於地形關係,因此鄒族人與平地人運送山產或是交易皆於此接觸,故得名。另一說法是因八掌溪在此離開山區,形成兩壁高聳峽谷地形,如兩牛對峙般即將相觸,依地形而取名。至日治時期設有輕便車,尤其是阿里山森林鐵路受颱風所創,得透過人力挑運下山至觸口,然後藉由輕便車運送出去。1982年阿里山公路通車後,便不再仰賴鐵路、人力運輸。
因阿里山公路橫貫觸口村,為通往阿里山山區必經要道,也是公路自此開始高度上升,沿山而行之處。觸口於[昭和12年(1937年)設有天長、地久兩座鐵線橋成為景點。1968年在觸口橋下方興建情人吊橋。至1991年龍隱寺建廟與此,加上1995年受電視劇拍攝取景所賜,因此帶來旅客至此遊憩,為數57%旅客是選擇天長橋、地久橋,但仍是多數旅客將觸口視為停留休憩之地,主因是停車場佔地大,可容納許多旅客駕駛車輛前來停歇,故旅客進來與離開的流量,在中午時分形成界線,若逢夏季則另外受氣候影響,常於中午過後起霧。
Chukou
Chukou used to be a busy transport hub, but it was only until Typhoon Morakot hit Taiwan that it regained its old-time busyness. During the post-disaster period, most other traffic routes were closed, and tourist buses had no other options but to stop at Chukou. Today, Chukou has quickly become a boisterous tourist destination. The “Alishan National Scenic Area” sign in front of the Longyin Temple is especially loved by Chinese tourists. Almost every one of them takes a picture with it to prove that they have been to Taiwan. In fact, visitors can get as much information in Chukou, because the Alishan National Scenic Area Administration Office is right here. Brochures and flyers are available free of charge. Chukou is at the junction of the Alishan mountain ridges and prairies. A fault passes through and mountains surround three sides of it. Looking down from the Dingpu Highway, one can see Bazhang River making a magnificent big turn towards the southwest.
