Introduction

Sun Moon Lake is one of the two major scenic spots in Taiwan and is regarded by mainland tourists as a must-visit place. Although it may not be as spectacular as the numerous famous mountains and lakes on the mainland, it is still a shining pearl on this small island with limited land and abundant mountains. Every morning, a thin mist envelops Sun Moon Lake, which is the most beautiful moment. Unfortunately, most tourists do not stay here overnight and only have a brief glimpse of it. Yuchi Township plans to rename itself Sun Moon Lake Township, indicating that it is the living area of the indigenous Thao tribe. Walking around the lake, you will see various crafts and food of the Thao people. Due to the relatively long time required to tour around the lake and the difficulty of carefully appreciating the beauty of Sun Moon Lake, it is recommended for tourists to take a yacht from Shuishe Pier to enjoy the pleasant breeze and the beautiful scenery of Sun Moon Lake. In addition, you can also rent a bicycle and ride along the Sun Moon Lake cycling path to your destination at your own pace. In conclusion, no matter how you choose to visit, Sun Moon Lake will leave a deep impression on you.
