Sun Moon Lake 日月潭

Sun Moon Lake is located at central Taiwan in the country of Nantou. Sun Moon Lake is famous for its stunning waters and its stunning mountain scenery. It is the largest and beautiful alpine lake. Why they named “Sun Moon Lake”? It is because the eastern part of the lake is round like the sun and the western side is shaped like a crescent moon.

Sun Moon Lake's beauty is created by the combination of mountain and water scenery, and its 760-meter elevation helps give the impression of a Chinese landscape painting with mist-laden water and clearly defined levels of mountains. Its crystalline, emerald green waters reflect the hills and mountains which rise on all sides. Natural beauty is enhanced by numerous cultural and historical sites. The constant changes of mists and moods on the lake make it impossible to comprehend in a single look, and thus, visitors like to linger here.

The beauty of the lake, from dawn to dusk and from spring and summer to autumn and winter, exudes an aura of enchantment regardless of whether it is bathed in sunlight or shrouded in mist.

Sun Moon Lake, rich in both natural scenic beauty and cultural landmarks, is like a lustrous pearl – radiant from whatever prospect you choose. Whether you are the first time visitor or a regular traveler to this part of Taiwan, please slow down your hurried travels, stay, and relax for a few days. Here, the beauty of nature will make you want to keep coming back!
