POV: I Took a Day Trip to Sun Moon Lake

- I arrived at Taipei Main Station at 9am and 10am train tickets were sold out to Taichung so had to wait until 11am. My ticket cost 375 NTD one way. - I got there at 1:15pm. Then, I got a bus from Gancheng Station about 10 mins from Taichung Railway Station but it stopped there anyway. - Make sure you have coins for the bus it cost 190 NTD. The staff were so kind and felt the service wasn’t good enough and told me I only needed to pay 100NTD! I left at 1:45pm and arrived at 3:25pm. - There is a nice view from the Starbucks. Tenren Tea is also next to it but not sure if there is a view from there. - It was too late to get a bike as shops close at 6pm. Got a boat for 300NTD to visit three points and was told to be back for 6pm. - Arrived at 4:20pm at Xuanugguan Pier. Small walk uphill to see a temple. You just need about 30 minutes here. Left at around 5pm. - As I moved over to Ita Thao Pier, there was commentary provided but it was all in Chinese. There is a nice pagoda and temple along the route. - At Ita Thao, I got there at about 5:15pm so I really only had 45 minutes. There is a short trail along towards the rope way which closes at 3pm. Wear bug spray around your ankles because you will get bitten! - Overall the area is nice but I would recommend staying overnight to really enjoy it or else booking everything well in advance and getting up very early. - It was nice to see the rowing team on the water and water skiers as well. - I was on the 6pm boat back and arrived at Shuishe by 6:20pm. I got a pizza at Moon Restaurant and they charged my phone for me. - I left Sheuishe at 7:25pm on last bus and arrived at Taichung HSR Station at 9pm . I had to pay 700NTD for my train which left around 9:30pm and arrived at Taipei Station at 10:30pm. - Thanks for reading and I hope this is useful! Is there anything you would do differently? #sunmoonlake #taipei #taichung #Xuanguang #ItaThao #Sheuishe #taiwantravel #taiwandaytrip #taiwantravelling #solotravel

Cozy Stay @ Sun Moon Lake

#2024wish We stayed for 2 nights in Flying Sun & Moon B&B (飞日月漫旅), a newly renovated B&B in Yuchi Township, Nantou County next to Sun Moon Lake. Thanks to trip.com promotion, we booked the room at very affordable rates! Since we traveled by bus, we chose this B&B as it is conveniently located next to the bus terminal along the main road. The room was quite small but cozy and newly renovated with cool decor. There is a 7-11 right across the B&B. Breakfast was not provided, instead 7-11 coupons were given for us to buy food on our own. There was no lift so we had to carry our luggage upstairs on our own. #nantou #sunmoonlake #tripblazers #taiwan
