Things to do in Sun Moon Lake

I had a great time with my friends at Sun Moon Lake. It’s convenient that I booked the activities here in Trip.com.

MUST VISIT! really enjoyed our time as the park really has some interesting areas.

So convenient! You just havs to show your QR code/ booking voucher to claim your ticket. Had a great time at Sun Moon Lake Ropeway. For the lake cruise, I claimed mine from the Visitor's Centre at Ita Thao— the ladies there are very welcoming and they understand right away when you show them the booking QR code.

The length is about 30 kilometers; the riding time is about 3.5 hours; The Xiangshan section with the most beautiful scenery is about 3.4 kilometers long; the riding time is about 30 minutes. You can rent electric bicycles and ride up the mountain section for 1.5 hours to enjoy the beautiful scenery and take beautiful photos.

Man Mo Temple is located next to Sun Moon Lake and built against the mountains. From a high place, you can overlook the clear and peaceful mountains and forests of Sun Moon Lake, the noise of the temple, and make everyone's wishes amidst the smoke. Because Man Mo Temple is located in Sun Moon Lake, it is more convenient to drive by yourself in terms of transportation. There are parking spaces around but it takes time to find them. If money and time permit, living near Sun Moon Lake and cycling around the lake is a good choice. Man Mo Temple is mainly dedicated to Confucius and Guan Gong. In Taiwan, entry to temples is free, so I was shocked when I first encountered a temple in Shanghai that required admission. I like visiting temples very much. The Tudigong Temple next door to my house has taken care of all kinds of girlish worries that I have had since childhood. If I dare not tell my parents or teachers, I can tell the gods and he will keep it secret and bless me with peace. Because there is Confucius in the Man Mo Temple, before the exam, the place will be crowded with all kinds of candidates, parents and all kinds of admission tickets, which is also a unique scenery in Taiwan. I like to walk down from the mountain at the back to the Man Mo Temple, because you can see a different Man Mo Temple and a different Sun Moon Lake from high up. Green hills, green water and fragrant temple, this is the place I miss.

Xiangshan Bicycle Trail is from Shuishe Zhongxing Parking Lot - Mingtan Legendary Museum - Shuishe Dam - Yongjie Tongxin Bridge - Xiangshan Visitor Center. There is a bicycle trail along the waterside of Sun Moon Lake. You can stop and take pictures. There are not many tourists along the way. It is very comfortable. Cycling around the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery is also a good choice. Get close to Sun Moon Lake and the natural scenery.

This is my favorite place in Sun Moon Lake.

According to legend, Lalu Island is the residence of the highest ancestor of the Thao people and one of the early settlements of the Thao people. Today, this land is well protected and used to commemorate the ancestors of the Thao people. Due to the strong winds and waves in Sun Moon Lake, it is best not to stand on the bow when taking a cruise in the park!

You can see the sunset at Xuanguang Temple in Sun Moon Lake! When you go down to the pier, you can see the sunset shining over the lake! The pier has the famous Grandma’s Mushroom Tea Eggs! 13 yuan each, delicious! A must eat here!

There are yachts between Yidashao Pier, Xuanguang Pier and Shuishe Pier. Yidashao Pier now has four floating plank roads, namely Pier 1, Pier 2, Pier 3 and Pier 4, which are used to dock yachts coming from different directions. The pier is an important station for water transportation and a famous scenic spot. It is an ideal place for sightseeing with clear water and green mountains, fresh air and many tourists.
