Going to Fenqihu vs. Alishan [closed]

This is sort of a continuation of this question.

Is there much more to see in Alishan compared to Fenqihu? I assume one of the main reasons tourists go to Alishan is to see the sunrise and also to hike. Assuming I will not see the sunrise and will go to Fenqihu, are there other reasons making the trip to Alishan worthwhile? As far as I understand, there are good hiking trails in Fenqihu as well. Are the ones in Alishan significantly better? Or is there something else unique to do in Alishan as opposed to Fenqihu? (One unique reason to visit Fenqihu that I can think of is their lunch boxes; but what about Alishan?)
