day 1Taipei to Sun Moon Lake
Taipei - Sun Moon Lake / Taichung. Our tour departs at 7:30 this morning from central Taipei. We begin our journey to the heart of the island and the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area. Arrive at Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan’s largest freshwater lake, named for its unique shape—sun-like in the east and moon-like in the west—divided by Lalu Island. Home to the indigenous Thao people, the area is famed for its rich culture and natural beauty. There will be free time for lunch. Continue with a scenic bus tour around the lake, exploring its most iconic attractions. Begin at Ita Thao, an indigenous village offering insight into Thao culture and lifestyle. Then marvel at Ci’en Pagoda, a striking landmark built by President Chiang Kai-shek in memory of his mother. Visit two significant temples: Xuanzang Temple, a peaceful Buddhist sanctuary dedicated to the monk Xuanzang, and Wenwu Temple, a grand Taoist site with halls honoring the Martial God and the God of Literature. Our guide will share the area’s cultural and historical background. Later, we will be transferred to our hotel. Tour Pick Up: This tour departs from central Taipei early this morning - you will need to arrive the night before your tour. You can be collected from any hotel in the city centre - please make sure you tell us in advance of your tour where you wish to be collected from, so arrangements can be made. Should you have any issues with colelction, please call the Emergency Contact Number on your tour documentation. Please note that additional transfer fees may apply for accommodation located outside the city centre. Please note: Our preference is always to stay at Sun Moon Lake.
