Itinerary

• In the morning, meet with our licensed English speaking driver / guide at your hotel or other place in Taichung. We’ll leave the city behind  and head to magical Sun Moon Lake, consistently rated as one of the most scenic spots in Asia. The drive to Sun Moon Lake, depending on traffic, will take about 1 to 1,5 hour.
• Upon arrival, you’ll first take in the beauty of Taiwan’s largest lake while enjoying a leisurely 60-minute bike ride along a trail awarded as one of ten “Breath-Taking Cycling Routes” by CNN.
• Next on the list is a well-deserved Taiwanese-style lunch (not included) before boarding the lake ferry and admiring the lake waters and surrounding mountains. The ferry experience will be followed by a sky-high ride in a cable car granting picturesque 360-degree panoramic views over Sun Moon Lake.
• The Sun Moon Lake Ropeway connects Ita Thao with the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village. It takes about ten minutes each way and covers a distance of around 1,877 meters (6,158 ft).
• After the Ropeway Ride you will visit Wenwu Temple. The majestic temple sits on a mountainside, north of Sun Moon Lake, and was built according to the landscape. Wenwu Temple is known to be the largest temple in the area.
• The final stop is Yidashao Commercial District. During a 40-minute visit, you can learn more about Taiwan and Taiwanese Indigenous culture and get your hands on some fine traditional arts and crafts.

The tour will end here and your guide will drive you back to Taichung.
