After checking out from our hotel at Taichung, we proceeded to Gancheng bus station, where we purchased bus tickets to our next destination - Sun Moon Lake 日月潭
Tip: One of the easiest ways to reach Sun Moon Lake would be to take a bus. It is cost efficient, convenient and punctual. You can refer to this link for the schedules: http://www.ntbus.com.tw/032.htm
E-go bus is also available. The journey will take around 70 minutes. You can either go to Gan Cheng bus station, or the HSR station to get a bus.
After we checked into our minsu, we set out for a stroll along the surrounding paths. Our minsu is very, very conveniently located on the streets near Shueishe pier itself.
The air was fresh and crisp after an afternoon shower - ideal for a walk or bicycle ride.
There is a bicycle trail surrounding the lake for the adventurous.
I was told the breathtaking views are to be found along the trail - very well worth the effort I guess.
We saw some ducks swimming in the crystal clear waters.
There were some fruit stalls along the way. We bought some just for experience's sake.
