Top 6 Bodies of Water in Nantou, Nantou
Taking in the breathtaking beauty of Nantou's Sun Moon Lake is truly an ethereal experience. The turquoise basin is shaped like the sun on the east side, a crescent moon on the west, and it reads like a rippling celestial journey. After a day of hiking the seven miles of trails in the lake's surrounding mountains, hop a cable car and whiz through the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village or take a soothing dip in one of the area's many hot springs. Local farms grow juicy drupe fruits, the perfect refreshment on a steamy day.

This is one of the most popular places to visit in Taiwan. We took the Nantou Sun Moon Lake bus from Gancheng Bus Station in Taichung early in the morning. Just buy the bus tickets on board. There was a half price promotion when we visited that day. We used our Easy Card prepaid cards which were very handy when using public transport, just tap on and tap off. The bus also passes by the TRS Railway station and the HSR Railway station in Taichung where you can also board if there are vacant seats. We went on a weekday, so there were ample seats. Sun Moon Lake is quite beautiful and you need at least a full day to enjoy the sights and activities there. Even then, it was quite hectic. An overnight trip would have been more relaxing. We took unlimited boat rides to the various places around the lake. Weather was sunny. We also hired bikes to cycle to the Xiangshan Visitor Centre from Shuishe. Sun Moon Lake is a nice place to walk, cycle or take boat rides to enjoy the scenery, cool weather and sights. Going back to Taichung was also by Nantou bus from the Shuishe Visitor Centre. We bought our boat and bike hire tickets online, which were way cheaper.
