It’s a pity that many people leave Sun Moon Lake very quickly.In addition to beautiful scenery, I recommend tourist can spend more time exploring tribal culture and Chinese tea culture.
Cycling around the lake
The Sun Moon Lake is the only natural big lake in Taiwan.The BBC praises the bicycle lane of Sun Moon Lake as one of the ten most beautiful in the world. You can rent a bicycle or by boat around the lake. The most famous sights around Sun Moon Lake are the Itashao, Lalu Island, the Xuanzang Temple, the Ci-en Pagoda, and the Wenwu Temple and so on.
