If you want to find cottage life in Taiwan as a vacationer, go to Sun Moon Lake.  Simply stunning and beautiful.  Quiet and peaceful, you can eat the many local food stands, go on a biking trail, go hike, hop on a ferry and explore the different islands around the area.

hold on, what exactly is Sun Moon lake?  Well it’s lake that is surrounded by a lot of mountains.  And apparently the reason why it’s called Sun Moon Lake is because on a clear day, you can see both the sun and moon.  Pretty cool.  Unfortunately it was cloudy the way we went.  Still didn’t put a damper on our day though!

We went biking of course, which costed about NTD100 per hour, per person.  It was okay, not too expensive.  We biked along a trail, which wasn’t that long as it only took us about 30 minutes to complete.

And we stopped a lot too.  So yeah, not too bad.

Where we stayed at Sun Moon lake was on another island, which means we had to take the ferry.  There are a LOT of ferry services that is provided here, so don’t you worry not being able to get on.   And here’s a selfie picture of me on the ferry =)

I think one thing you will be doing a lot is taking pictures of the surrounding areas, both during the day and at night:

And finally, if you want to just relax go to one of the bubble tea places and just sit back and rewind.  Not a bad way to spend your time!

Super recommend Sun Moon lake for all you love birds, and people that just want some peace and quiet.
