Spend time at the alpine lake to take in incredible views. Enjoy a boat ride (if the group option is selected), wander the foot trails, or check out some of the lake's scenic spots like Shuishe Wharf, Yidashao Wharf, and Xuanzhuang Temple. During your tour learn about the Thao, the indigenous people who have lived near Sun Moon Lake, and get to know local traditions before heading back to Taipei City.
