Sun Moon Lake

Topping the list of the best lakes to visit in Taiwan is Sun Moon. Sun Moon Lake is a body of water in Taiwan's Yuchi Township, Nantou County. It is Taiwan's largest body of water. The Thao tribe, one of Taiwan's indigenous tribes, resides in the area around the lake. Lalu, a little island, is surrounded by Sun Moon Lake. The lake's name comes from the fact that its east side resembles the sun, while its west side resembles the moon. Because this region was a tertiary slate in caved-in zones, Sun Moon Lake, Toushe, Yuchi, and Puli were all once large lakes. Variable-sized basins were produced as a result of extrusion, which occurred often on the tertiary slate as the earth's crust altered. An alpine lake developed as a result of water accumulating over extended periods of time. Lower-lying areas like Toushe, Yuchi, and Puli eventually dried up and turned into lush basin plains.


Sun Moon Lake's pristine, emerald-green water reflects the calming views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. Sun Moon Lake is always stunning and amazing, whether it's morning or evening, spring, summer, autumn, or winter, sunny, warm, cloudy, or foggy outside! The lake is shrouded in a dreamlike thin haze in the early morning hours. The murky lake gradually reveals the reflections of the mountain and tree profiles as the light rises over them, with the sounds of birds chirping and insects buzzing adding to the scene. The lake is transformed into a golden fantasy at dusk by the sunset. As night falls, the lake's surface reflects light as the gentle rippling of the chilly evening wind.


Mountainous in its surroundings, Sun Moon Lake has long drawn visitors from near and far with its foggy mornings and stunning afternoon sunsets. In addition to visiting the lake by boat, you may also ride a bike around it to take in the scenery. The terrain of the lakeside bikeway rises and falls, making it occasionally difficult yet perfect for those of you who enjoy a little difficulty. Not only that, this place also offers lots of activities and places for tourists to experience.
