Description

Departing from Taichung, you will join fellow travelers on a comfortable shared ride into the scenic central mountains, where the jewel of Taiwan—Sun Moon Lake—awaits. The first highlight of the journey is the Sun Moon Lake Cycling Path, internationally acclaimed as one of the most beautiful bike routes in the world. As you ride along the lakeside, the path takes you across wooden bridges, shaded forest stretches, and open trails that reveal the shimmering turquoise waters of the lake. The peaceful rhythm of cycling allows you to fully appreciate the harmony between water, mountains, and sky. After your refreshing ride, the group will pause at the lively local commercial street for lunch. This bustling area offers a wide range of Taiwanese specialties and regional flavors. You may try Sun Moon Lake’s famous president fish, sample fragrant tea eggs, or sip a cup of locally grown Assam black tea. The food, combined with the lively atmosphere of small shops and street vendors, offers an authentic taste of daily life in this mountain community. The adventure continues as you board a lake cruise, gliding across Sun Moon Lake’s calm waters. From the boat, you will enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding hills and visit iconic piers such as Ita Thao, where you can glimpse indigenous culture. The changing angles of sunlight on the water create a mesmerizing scene, making the cruise both relaxing and breathtaking. Next, you will ascend above the landscape on the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway (cable car). Suspended high in the air, the ride reveals a panoramic perspective of the lake’s unique “sun” and “moon” shapes, framed by endless forested mountains. This moment offers some of the best photo opportunities of the day, as you see the entire landscape from a bird’s-eye view. The final cultural highlight of the trip is a visit to the Wenwu Temple, a grand structure overlooking the lake. With its towering red columns, ornate carvings, and sweeping staircases, the temple blends history, religion, and architecture in one majestic setting. Inside, you can light incense, admire intricate shrines dedicated to Confucius and Guan Gong, and hang a wooden prayer tablet for good fortune. From the terrace, the temple offers one of the most impressive panoramic views of Sun Moon Lake. As the day concludes, you will return to Taichung by shared vehicle, carrying with you memories of cycling by the water, tasting local delicacies, sailing across the lake, soaring above it in a cable car, and reflecting in a temple that overlooks it all. This shared trip combines nature, culture, and relaxation into one unforgettable experience.
