2. Stroll around the lake, which has many walking paths during the day or night~
3. Go tea tasting at the Antique Assam Tea Farm! A great opportunity to learn about tea history in Taiwan and try Taiwan’s famous Ruby Red (No. 18) tea.
4. Head to the Xiangshan Visitor Center for snacks, informative exhibits, and stunning views over the lake.
5. Cycle around the Lake — which was voted as one of the most scenic bike routes in the world!
6. Explore Ita Thao which has tons of delicious street food and aboriginal markets.
7. Try aboriginal Taiwanese cuisine, which is easier to find in this region of the island.
8. Visit Ita Thao Pier to catch a boat to transit around the lake.
9. Ride the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway, a cable car that runs over the lake and surrounding mountains.
10. Rent a stand-up paddle board or paddle boat to experience the lake from the water!

Thank you for joining us for an EPIC day at Sun Moon Lake! 🙂 What activity would you want to do the most? Are you excited to see the route to Alishan in part 2?
How is those soups? I've never tried those. U 2 have to try omeso (thin soup noodles) and other soup noodles 🍜. Try Taiwanese baozis and zongzis and Taiwanese dumplings and oyster omelet and beef soup noodles and Taiwanese shaved ice 🍧, it's like snow cone. Try Taiwanese roast beef and roast beef rice. Try Taiwanese apple soda and Taiwanese root beer soda.
Yes! 2am insomnia works for me again! Sun Moon Lake looks so pretty! Somehow I’ve never been before. I didn’t have enough time to go last time and chose Alishan instead. Can’t wait to see you there in the next video.
The food looks so good. I’m glad you’re able to sit down at some quality restaurants and try the food. While I love street food, restaurant food is also magical in Taiwan.
Brandi you’re really brave for going SUP in the Taiwan winter. Especially in central Taiwan at a higher elevation. Taiwan winters may be mild but that doesn’t mean the water isn’t too cold to swim in!
I can see you pulling out all your editing and artistic skills for this video. Very nice job on it.
The "th" in "Ita Thao" is pronounced like in the English word "thing". The Thao language (a critically endangered language) is one of the few languages in the world with the "th" sound as in English. Since there's no "th" in Chinese, it's pronounced "Ita Shao" in Mandarin.
Your sensibility and intelligence are perfect for marketing and promoting such beauty for Taiwan…👍👍👍
Very beautiful there! Nice footage and info about that region
去日月潭交通真的很方便！
由日月潭搭公車去阿里山超方便！
延途風景很美，也會在途中休息停下來休息，讓乗客上洗手間和拍照，很棒👍
SUN MOON LAKE looks great through your lens! 🥰🥰🥰 and good try for the SUP!
Wow, so quickly you release this video after the Taipei one. Looking forward to seeing the episode for Alishan too! The Aboriginal Culture Village used to be one of the three main amusement parks in Taiwan, with exciting roller coasters.
You can visit here too
