Sun Moon Lake is probably the most famous lake in Taiwan. As a Chinese growing up in China, I read about it when I was in first grade. Over thirty years after I read about it, I finally get to see it. It didn't disappoint at all. The water are clearer than I expected. It was storming season, so there were clouds and mists among the mountains. That gave it a mystical feeling.
The mountain view in early morning from my hotel balcony.
There is an island in the center of the lake. It's a sacred place for the aboriginal people here.
The pagoda was built by Chiang Kai-Shek to commemorate his mother.
I was following a tour group, so there were not much activities other than going on tour yacht. Next time I go to Taiwan, I'll just go here without tour group. I heard there are foot trails around the lake. That will be something I would like to do.
