Coisas para fazer em Condado de Nantou

The itinerary was perfect, and first of all, I'm very grateful to our driver and tour guide, KEN! KEN arrived very early to pick us up and took care of everyone thoughtfully. Our first stop was Cingjing Farm. The journey wasn't short, and with the winding mountain roads, I wondered if it would be boring, but it wasn't at all. KEN started telling many interesting local stories even before we began ascending the mountain, which was super entertaining. He shared details about every place we passed. On the way up, we saw trucks transporting cabbages down the mountain, experienced the indigenous people's way of life, culture, and art, and even the place names we passed had their own history. Thanks to KEN, I learned a lot about Nantou. The mountains in Nantou are truly beautiful. Walking into the grand mountains, I truly understood what it means to have layers of green peaks. The mountains seemed endless. Occasionally, we'd pass by cliffs, and in the distance, we could see riverbeds. It was the dry season, so they looked like shallow, scratch-like marks, with a few shimmering, wide, thin mirrors of water reflecting faintly. The scenery was captivating. When we arrived at the farm, the weather was excellent. Under the blue sky and white clouds, time seemed to stand still. We slowly began to feel the temperature cool down. Sheep trotted on the slopes, creating little 'flowers' on the lush green grass. The trail was built along the mountain, with a few horses grazing in the flat area below. In the distance, the continuous mountain ranges were hazy, only their approximate outlines remaining, blending with the azure sky. We walked along the trail to the exit, where KEN picked us up to go down for lunch, and then took us to our second stop, Sun Moon Lake. Getting out of the car, I was immediately drawn to the surface of Sun Moon Lake. It was wider than I imagined, with an emerald-like surface, seemingly bottomless. Sunlight scattered across it, making it sparkle like light, thin silk stretching and unfurling in the wind. Taking a boat tour of the lake was exhilarating; the breeze was refreshing, reducing some of the early summer heat. KEN continued to provide explanations, deepening our impression of Sun Moon Lake. The boat stopped at several piers, and in the shallow waters near the shore, we could vaguely see small fish. I guessed the fish were as happy as I was. During our free time, I walked to the Yuchi Township Farmers' Association Ita Thao Branch and bought Ruby Black Tea. It felt right to bring some black tea back from Sun Moon Lake. The Assam milk tea I bought from a small roadside shop was also delicious. On the boat ride back, we could also see the cable cars, making it even more pleasant. Sun Moon Lake at sunset, with its water turning deeper, gently smoothed away all worries. Even though we were reluctant to leave, it was time to go back. KEN drove us back, again carefully reminding us to take our personal belongings. On the way back, we watched the sun set. The fields by the roadside were golden, the residual warmth of the sun slowly faded, and my phone filled with more and more photos. I thought about how truly happy this day had been, and how it had passed by so quickly. As night fell, we finally returned to Taichung. KEN patiently dropped us off at our respective accommodations and bid us farewell. I am very grateful to KEN and to this one-day tour. It felt like a wonderfully beautiful dream. I love the mountains and waters of Nantou. Perhaps someday when I feel anxious, looking back at this journey, recalling those interesting little stories, those cute little sheep, and those lovely ripples, will bring me peace of mind. I truly hope to have the chance to visit again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience on our Sun Moon Lake tour, and a big part of that was thanks to Jeannie! She was friendly, professional, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire trip. She shared interesting information about each destination, kept the group informed, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Her energy and passion for what she does really enhanced the experience and made the tour both enjoyable and memorable. Sun Moon Lake is beautiful on its own, but having a guide like Jeannie made the experience even better. Highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Jeannie as your guide, you’re in great hands!

很可惜，我們另外預訂的接駁車沒有把我們送到自行車租賃處，但沒關係，因為我們仍然很享受日月潭，而且能夠四處走走。幸好纜車距離只有10分鐘的步行路程，所以我們能夠立即搭乘。我們很幸運那天是平日，所以遊客不多，我們獨自搭乘了纜車。領取纜車票很簡單，我們只需到三樓出示QR碼，他們就在我們手上蓋了夜光章，然後我們就可以出發了。這是一趟很好的5-10分鐘纜車之旅。從日月潭纜車終點站出來，有幾個小吃攤。進入九族文化村後，只需掃描手上的印章，就可以再次搭乘纜車前往主題樂園。那天是平日，所以我們獨享了整個地方，而且沒有排隊。很可惜那天一整天都在下雨，但我們仍然搭乘了一些遊樂設施。

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

Klook ticket prices are the same as buying on-site, but at least you don't have to queue to buy tickets. It's super convenient to just find staff at the entrance and scan the voucher QR code! It also includes a gift of 4 Youshan Tea Visit tea bags, but you have to make a special trip to the Youshan Tea Visit Tea Culture Museum to redeem them, instead of receiving them upon entry.

There are so many animals at Mengmengyuan that you can get up close to, it's so much fun! It's like a mini-wildlife park, with meerkats, goats, capybaras, sika deer, ducks, black swans, foxes, sloths, giant tortoises, and eagles, among others. With your ticket, you can redeem for tea eggs and jelly. If you leave a review and follow us, you can also redeem a capybara keychain! So happy 😃

Very good 👍🏻 You can observe animals up close, and even participate in interactive experiences, which is different from a typical zoo. It's very clean and doesn't have much odor. The park isn't too big for walking, but for families with young children, it's recommended to bring a stroller or rent a park vehicle. Also, remember to bring water and sun protection if the weather is hot.

Tickets are easy to buy and can be used immediately. The park isn't large, but the buildings are grand and exquisite. There are many sculptures in the courtyard for photos, and the plants are very well-maintained. Plus, there are cute animals to interact with, making it perfect for adults and children to relax, enjoy coffee, and have snacks on holidays.

즐거운 양 체험이었습니다. 스카이 브릿지를 통해 스위스 가든까지 가는 길이 매우 길었는데, 스위스 가든과 바로 연결되어 있지 않고 600m 정도 내리막길을 더 걸어야 한다는 점을 참고하세요. 그 외에는 푸른 잔디밭이 모두 좋았습니다. 스위스 가든은 작고 아이들에게 친화적입니다.
