Day 2
--------Sun Moon Lake 日月潭 --------
Sun Moon Lake -the largest lake in Taiwan, is located near Yuchi, Nan Tou. How this 7.7 square kilometers lake gets it name is because the northern section resembles a rhombus-shaped sun while the southern section looks like a crescent-shaped moon. Well, i have no idea from which angle or which spot to see the lake view and make it looks like Sun & Moon.
We transit at Nantou to catch a bus direct to Sun Moon Lake. The bus comes every 45-50mins. Bought 2 Sun Moon Lake Day Pass at NT 299 each. You may also get it at the nearby 7-eleven. The package are including the daily ride pass for buses around sun Moon Lake, the Gondola to Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village (九族文化村) , one way boat ride pass from Sun Moon Lake to Ita Thao. Some package do include the day pass to Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village (九族文化村)- the One Piece (航海贼) too but of course the price will be differ as well.
Reached at Sun Moon Lake around 430pm and its quite jammed during that time. Perhaps because it is a weekend and there is an event over there so most of the hotel were fully booked. Finally, we found 1 room available at MayZen.
Walk around and we found these....
