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.

Sunmoon Lake tour is one of the highlights day tour you should do when you come in Taipei. The yacht ride, lake breeze and ambiance was so nice. Our tour guide also was very helpful. Just a suggestion, please wear comfortable clothes (not preferable dress) since their was a biking session along the moon lake (but you have option to opt out on this one hahahaha).

Never thought the Qingjing farm has really cool and nice weather. Definitely the highlight of the trip! We were even able to see 2 shows. Sun Moon Lake boat trip was really relaxing. The Old English Manor was really picturesque! We had a great time!

Hi. I would recommend our driver Andy! He is well versed in different languages. He tried to have small conversations with us and even explain to us the history about each venue. The car is comfortable and he really knows which playlist to choose to play in the car to keep away the awkwardness with other passengers around. Thumbs up!!

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 guide/driver 范先生 (Mr Fan) was amazing. He planned the trip very smoothly. It was very enjoyable to experience sun moon lake in different situations/activities. He even offered to drop us off at different locations that were on the way back to the city. His service is 5⭐️ our only regret is not leaving him a little gift to show how much we appreciate his work.

We had a wonderful day trip from Taipei to Sun Moon Lake! 🌊 The journey was around 3 hours each way, so it was a long day, but the breathtaking scenery made it absolutely worthwhile. The lake was extremely beautiful, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. A special thank you to our tour guide, Tommy, who was so friendly, helpful and welcoming throughout the trip. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Although the travel time was quite long, Sun Moon Lake is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommend this day trip to anyone visiting Taiwan! ❤️

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! 🥰

I had a wonderful experience on this tour, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, 小新. His explanations were clear and informative, helping us better appreciate the places we visited. What made the journey even more enjoyable was his great sense of humour and superb photography skills, which helped us capture many memorable moments. The tour was very well-paced, with good time management while still feeling relaxed and unhurried. Since we were a large group, we were able to charter the entire vehicle, which made the experience more private, comfortable, and flexible. Along the way, 小新 also shared recommendations on some great local products to buy, which was very helpful. He was attentive throughout the trip and always made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Overall, the breathtaking views, combined with the chill and friendly atmosphere, made this a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended, especially if you get 小新 as your guide!
