Things to do in Sun Moon Lake

Great experience. Hike or bike the temple (first stop) if you can. The scene there is fantastic. There are lots of food stalls in Ita-Thao. The cable car is fantastic and total roundtrip is about 20-mins. The windows are. open so you can definitely feel the fresh air.

The best trip ever! We were only a group of 8 people going to Sun Moon Lake so our tour guide Bratt arranged an 8-seater van for us and it felt like a private tour due to the pleasing and wonderful accommodation the tour guide gave. Also, Bratt gave us Tea Egg and guided us to many secret areas to take amazing photos. Will definitely recommend this tour for you and hopefully your Tour Guide would be Bratt. Thank you so much!

It was unfortunate that the transfer we booked separately did not drop us where the bike rental is located but it's okay as we still enjoyed the Sun Moon Lake and was able to walk around. Good thing that the ropeway was just a 10-minute walk so we were able to ride it immediately. We're lucky that it was a weekday so there's not much tourists so we got the gondola by ourselves only. The claiming of ropeway was easy, we just went to 3rd floor and showed the qr code and they stamped our hands with glow in the dark stamp for Formosan and we're already set. It was a good 5-10min ropeway ride. At the end of the ropeway from SML, there's few food stalls. Upon entering Formosan, just scan the stamp in your hand and you can ride the gondola again going to the theme park. It was a weekday so we had the place to ourselves and there were no queues. It was unfortunate that it rained the whole day but we still got to ride some of the rides there.

It was a great trip with our guide A Jun. He was very enthusiastic in engaging with us and took great photos of everyone. We had fun and interesting conversations along the road so it was never boring. We went to Sun Moon Lake to ride the boat and landed on the little island with the famous tea egg and temple on top. Then to Ita Thao Shopping Street to have lunch and some shopping. Next we went to the farm for sheeps and equestrian show. Do note that sheep show is only available on holidays. Overall, it was a satisfying trip.

had a wonderful time without having to think so much. this tour made my travel a lot more convenient. shared a chinese meal with strangers. the tour guide, Dunken, is also funny and very attentive. overall, it’s a great taichung experience

Highly recommended for Koreans!!!!!! The Korean-language tour wasn't available on the date I wanted, so I ended up choosing this tour instead, and it was such a great choice!!! First of all, it was so nice that they picked us up directly from our hotel instead of having us gather at a meeting point haha. The tour was held privately with just 6 people in total—me, my mom (2 people), and a Chinese family of 4. The car was super spacious and air-conditioned, which was great! The driver couldn't speak Korean, but he explained everything well using a translator and some English haha. What truly touched me was that I had lost my wallet at the night market the day before T.T. When the driver heard about that, he said that after the tour ended, he would go with me to the night market to ask the vendors, kept calling the police station in between to check if any lost items had been turned in, and even offered to go with me to the police station to help file a report after the tour. We didn't end up going because we figured we wouldn't find it even if we went to the night market T.T., but he kept trying to help us, which really touched both me and my mom haha. Also, the Chinese family traveling with us translated between the driver and us in English and even bought us drinks lol. They were worried about my lost wallet together with us! Anyway, I had a total mental breakdown the day before after losing my wallet, all my exchanged cash, and several cards, but during the tour, my mind actually eased up, and I met good people and had a wonderful tour!!! I didn't know ferry tickets were included, but they were! The price is also reasonable, so Korean folks planning to visit Sun Moon Lake and Gaomei Wetlands, please use this tour!!!!! The itinerary proceeded as follows: a huge temple at Sun Moon Lake ➡️ Sun Moon Lake Visitor Center? (cool and good for a short rest) ➡️ Sun Moon Lake ferry (basic 3-stop course) ➡️ pineapple cake shop (no purchase required, has a restroom) ➡️ Gaomei Wetlands, and they dropped us off right in front of our hotel at the end haha. Oh, and you can use WhatsApp for communication before the tour~~

Our trip to Sun Moon Lake was such a beautiful and memorable experience! Our tour guide Mr Lin made it more memorable. He is very friendly, knowledgable, and very patient. Everything was well organized, and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every part of the trip. We visited the peaceful Wenwu Temple, enjoyed the stunning views of the lake, and took a relaxing boat ride across the water. The highlight was riding the cable cars, where we got an amazing panoramic view of the mountains and lake from above. From the breathtaking scenery and cultural sites to the relaxing boat ride and exciting cable car experience, Sun Moon Lake is definitely a place worth visiting. A perfect mix of nature, culture, and adventure! Highly recommending this tour to everyone.

The day we went to Sun Moon lake, there was an unexpected event in the area. but despite it, I still enjoyed the tour. Our tourguide Tommy was able to give us a great tour of Sun Moon lake. Will definitely comeback. The bike ride is a must do for this experience.

The two young men at the Traveler's Inn provided excellent service. We saw them busy running around early in the morning, yet they were still so friendly to us, which we really appreciated. The bicycles themselves were also great to ride. When we returned them, they even gave us two cups of black tea! 👍 Sun Moon Lake is truly beautiful, and we'll definitely visit again next time! 🥰
