Sun Moon Lake Tourism Information

To visit Sun Moon Lake, if you take the shuttle bus from Chiayi, it only takes more than an hour. If you take Guoguang Bus 1833 from Building B of Taipei West Railway Station to Sun Moon Lake and get off at Sun Moon Lake Station (Shuishe Tourist Center), it takes about 4 hours 10 minute. There is a sightseeing road around the lake, and the roadside is shaded by trees, so you should have a rest. However, most tourists still like to learn from the ancients, go deep into various scenic spots and fully appreciate the amorous feelings of lakes and mountains. "Going out" first goes to Zhu Zaiyu. As soon as the boat swung the oars, people ran straight into the glass mirror. The sky is shining up and down, and the clear water is sparkling, which makes people feel like flying into an empty fairyland. Bamboo island rafting, island tour. This small island used to be very big, but after the Japanese built a hydropower station, it was largely submerged and became very small. But it is precisely because of its small size that Fang has added the vastness of "one island floating alone in all directions".

Pan to the north, you can stop at the foot of the mountain. There is a ramp up the mountain with a slope of ***365, commonly known as "walking for one year" to the Wu Wen Temple on the mountain. The temple is a collection of gods, centered on Confucius, including Wenchang Emperor, Guan Gong, Shennong Emperor, Sanguan Emperor, Yuanshi Tianzun, Kuixing, Huang Cheng, Tugong and Wang Hailong. Overlooking the pool scenery in front of the mountain, if you unfold the picture, you will see the mountains around the lake bank, and the clouds and water blend together, "the scenery is not reduced by Wushan Gorge".

From Peacock Garden, whether riding the highway around the lake or rowing back to the ferry, you can reach Dehua Society (this village) of Cao tribe. From Dehua society around the lake to the south bank, that is, to Xuanguang Temple. Master Tang Sanzang's whole body is molded in the temple, which was once the temporary hiding place of Master Xuanzang's spiritual bones. At the top of Qinglong Mountain behind Xuanzang Temple, there is a nine-story tower named "Ci 'en Tower".

Traveling around the lake, at the foot of the northwest coast, you can hear the roar and thunder of the water flow far away. Originally, it was pumped into the lake not far from the upstream of turbid water flow through the water inlet of 18 km long tunnel. This is the water source of Sun Moon Lake. The spray from the water inlet is as high as four or five meters to seven or eight meters, which is more spectacular than Baotu Spring in Jinan. Not far from the "Shuikou", there is a small peninsula for exploring the lake, which is located in the northwest of the pool. The rising water level in Sun Moon Lake flooded most areas of Pearl Island, and Cao people on the island moved to this peninsula, which has now developed into a modern tourist center. Special cars, roads around the lake and routes around the lake often start or end with this. There are many hotel buildings here. The most magnificent and advanced buildings are the Teachers' Guild and the Hanbi Building. Teachers' Guild Hall is a vacation and recuperation center for educators in Taiwan Province Province, which is large in scale, novel in shape and well-equipped. Hanbi Building is a hotel that has reached international standards, facing the pool on three sides and facing the sky on all sides.

Among them, only the bicycle lane of Moon Lake is far away from Madame Line 2 1, which is the only lane built beside Sun Moon Lake. It is about two kilometers long. After entering from the end of the tunnel in Tan Ming, it is the Crescent Bay in Sun Moon Lake. After 200 meters, the driveway extends forward next to the edge of Sun Moon Lake.

Qili fish

As early as in the Qing dynasty, there was a record of "Qili fish", which Shao people called "Qili fish" and was later called "Qili fish" by Han people after learning its sound. Some ichthyologists pointed out that Qili fish should be "Kjellyfish", which grows in low-altitude rivers and lakes all over the country just because it is related to Shao nationality and has more local color. You can see many four-corner boathouses on Sun Moon Lake, mainly for fishing Qili fish. The relationship between Qiliyu and Shao people is just like the relationship between flying fish and Yami people. They are an important food source for Shao people. The main fishing seasons are spring and summer. After entering autumn and winter, it is difficult to catch Qili fish because it is hidden in deeper waters. Because the physical barrier is not big, general speculation is the most common practice, and it is a famous dish of hotels in Sun Moon Lake area. Shao people are mainly used for pickling and become traditional snacks.
