4K Taiwan Sun Moon Lake Top 7 things to see and do

Sun Moon Lake is located in Taiwan’s Yuchi Township, Nantou County. Lalu Island in the middle of the lake separates the lake into a part shaped like a crescent moon and another part shaped like a round sun. We decided to take a bicycle ride around the lake and find the best things to see and do around Sun Moon Lake in a day.Here is our list of the top 7 things to see and do around Sun Moon Lake in a day:
1. Rent a Bicycle and ride the scenic Sun moon lake circular walk/ride - 日月潭環湖步道
2. Visit the Xiangshan Visitor Centre - 向山行政暨遊客中心
3. Enjoy the view from Xuanguang Temple - 玄光寺
4. Climb to the top of the Ci'en Pagoda - 慈恩塔
5. Enjoy a complimentary tea at the Xuanzang Temple - 玄奘寺
6. Have a waterfront street market lunch at Yidashao Pier - 伊達邵碼頭
7. Watch the sun set from the Shuishe Warf - 日月潭水社碼頭
The cycle route can be completed within 3 and a half hours at a leisure pace if you don’t stop. We would however recommend that you make the most of it and put a day aside to cycle around the lake and stop at all these interesting places. There are also a lot of other beautiful stops around Sun Moon lake that we didn’t mention.
If you have a favorite place that you would suggest, please let me know in the comment section below. This video is a travel guide. I hope this video inspires you go out and discover more of Taiwan. Thank you for watching Discover Taiwan with Johan
Ride difficulty: 2/5
Ride Time: 3.5h (without stopping at a slow pace)

    影片 拍得很棒 !! 騎單車 環日月潭.. 順時針方向 是 輕鬆些的路線,是 對的..爬坡少些... 有個 靠近 潭邊的 景觀,很 棒... 就是 在 涵碧樓 下方 的 涵碧 步道.. 那裡是 以前 蔣總統 喜愛看 景色的地方.. 也可以 順勢 環潭 單車道 !!!

    Thank you. Yes, you are allowed to fly a drone there in certain areas. Areas around the harbors and crowds are not allowed. You can download the Taiwan Civil Aeronautics Administration's APP that will show you an interactive map of where exactly you can fly in Taiwan.

    Hi! I am planning a Tw trip with the family, including my father in law who moves around in a wheelchair (folding electric or manual). Is SML doable with him? Woukd you recommend some accessible spots in TW for the trip? Thank you!

  • @discovertaiwanwithjohan

    Hi there Yes, SML would be a great place for your family to visit. Many of the views and places are wheelchair friendly, especially because of the bicycle routes. However, the old temples are only accessible by stairs. Still, there's more than enough views that are wheelchair friendly and you can also do a boat trip across the lake as a fun activity. Another activity there that's not in my bideo is the gondola ride up the mountain to the aboriginal park. For the rest of Taiwan, you will find Taipei city and all the other major cities to be very wheelchair friendly. The High Speed Rail train is also great. Taiwan has wheelchair friendly busses and taxis too. If you want to see more nature, I would also recommend you rent a car or van and travel down the east coast. Hualien has Toroco that's really worth seeing I'm not too clued up with all the wheelchair friendly places, but I often see a lot of older people traveling Taiwan and there's always wheelchair fiendly bathrooms at all the tourist hotspots and fuel stations, and usually very clean. I'm sure you guys will have a great time. It might just take a little bit more planning. Let me know if there's anything I can help out with
