Excursão de um dia de ônibus turístico FunTOUR no Lago do Sol e da Lua: Lago do Sol e da Lua, Castelo de Chocolate Nina e Igreja de Papel (partindo de Taichung)

Meeting point was easy to find, and even though there's no tour guide on this day trip, it's very self-sufficient. The tour to Sun Moon Lake is enjoyable with plenty of food options. However, for those who wish to explore the island by cable car, ferry, or bus, this half-day tour might not be enough. The other half of the day involves visiting a chocolate factory, stopping for donuts at a cafe, and a visit to Paper Dome.

With this bus, even if you live in Taipei, you can visit Sun Moon Lake and return on the same day. It's really convenient! You can leisurely depart from Taipei HSR Station in the morning, then transfer to this one-day tour bus downstairs at Taichung HSR Station, and arrive at the beautiful Sun Moon Lake around 11 AM! The bus first stops at a rather lovely shopping mall where you can use the restroom, buy ice cream, and souvenirs before continuing the journey. The weather was great on the day we departed, and the lake view of Sun Moon Lake is truly therapeutic. Staying here for over 3 hours was quite sufficient; you can take a boat tour to Yidashao Old Street and explore at your own pace. After leaving Sun Moon Lake, on the way back, we visited the Nina Chocolate Castle to feed capybaras, and next to it was the Instagrammable cafe, Sangxin Lab, where you can enjoy snacks and coffee, and the Paper Dome. The itinerary was incredibly rich! Finally, we returned to Taichung HSR Station around 6:30 PM, and were back in Taipei by just after 7 PM. Visiting Sun Moon Lake this way is truly relaxing! You don't have to worry about traffic jams or finding parking. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend used to drive us to Nantou, and every time we drove back, we'd both be exhausted from traffic. This time, we took the high-speed rail directly from Hsinchu to Taichung and seamlessly connected to this bus. We truly experienced what it means to "sleep on the bus and take beautiful photos when you get off"! After arriving at Sun Moon Lake, we rented electric bicycles and rode to the Xiangshan Visitor Center. The lake scenery along the way was truly beautiful. In the afternoon, we went to the Nina Chocolate Castle and took tons of photos (the included admission ticket was very cost-effective, and entry was super convenient!). Plus, the exclusive bottled water and DM fan distributed on the bus were quite stylish. The fan had some information for guided tours and discount coupons, with lots of thoughtful details~~~ Next time you go to Sun Moon Lake, I really recommend this!

I absolutely loved this tour! The driver was an indigenous person, very cute and funny. The car even thoughtfully provided bottled water, and there was a picture card that could be used as a fan. I carried it with me to block the sun at Sun Moon Lake, and I could also check information anytime – very practical! What surprised me the most was Nina! There were so many capybaras inside, all plump and friendly, super therapeutic. As long as you had food in your hand, they would all come over, just like they were raised by grandma; the Sangxin special coffee was delicious, and the environment was also perfect for taking influencer photos. I highly recommend it to everyone!

The overall experience was very convenient! From Taichung HSR Station, you can see it right after exiting Gate 5. When it's time, staff members will hold up signs to direct everyone to the bus outside. The bus has cute livery, making it easy to spot. Recognizing this design at every stop ensures you won't get on the wrong bus. Inside the bus, there's a QR code for a 'lazy bag' of information, where you can find attraction details, listen to audio guides, and even see suggested itineraries. I really like tours like this without a guide on the bus, allowing for a quiet and enjoyable journey! I especially want to commend the driver! Super friendly and enthusiastic, he even made announcements and put up signs at each stop to inform everyone of the meeting times!

Taking the Sun Moon Lake FunTOUR sightseeing bus to explore Sun Moon Lake is incredibly convenient! We departed leisurely from Hsinchu HSR Station at 8 AM, and after arriving at Taichung HSR Station, we immediately boarded this bus to begin our day trip to Sun Moon Lake. No need to drive ourselves or search for parking, it was truly relaxing! Once on board, the bus even provided cute bottled water and a DM fan, which was incredibly thoughtful (it suddenly got super hot that day, and the fan came in very handy). We visited Sun Moon Town, and also took a boat tour of Sun Moon Lake, which was absolutely beautiful and worthwhile. Finally, we went to Nina Chocolate Castle and the influencer-favorite cafe, Sangxin Lab. What a fulfilling day!

Screaming with excitement~~~ This Sun Moon Lake FunTOUR bus really knows what we want!!! We visited so many places in one day, from mountains to lakes (?), and it didn't feel rushed at all! In the morning, we went to Sun Moon Town and bought lots of cute little items. After arriving at Sun Moon Lake, we took a boat to Xuanguang Temple to buy Grandma's tea eggs, and then went to Ita Thao for a crazy feast of food and drinks. I thought that was the end of it, but there was also the super dreamy Nina Chocolate Castle (admission included!), and the capybaras inside were so cute! We ended the day perfectly with donuts from Sangxin Lab, which are super photogenic – don't miss them if you love taking pictures. We got to experience so much without even driving, and I've already posted stories recommending it to all my girlfriends!

It was a good experience but i think it is much better with a tour guide because we dont know our way to the sun moon lake or which next bus/boat to take. We were on our own. Overall it was good still.

因為是坐大旅遊巴，比拼車的小型旅行團更舒適。雖然沒有導遊，但可以自行手機掃碼多語言的行程地點簡介。日月潭那邊可以用餐的地方不多，下車處有一間很大的7-eleven。商場內只有一間火鍋店和自助式拉麵店。

Throughout the day's itinerary, we had ample time at each location. Although the group members didn't know each other, everyone was incredibly punctual! This mutual cooperation was essential for the successful completion of the trip. I absolutely loved the arrangements for this tour! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a one-day excursion 💕
