  • This is my second week in Taiwan, and I will take the Taiwan High-Speed Railway from Taipei to visit Taichung, the country's second-largest city.
    This video is about my experience going on a day trip to the beautiful Sun Moon Lake, cycling around the lake, taking a boat to the bustling food market of Ita Thao town, and chilling sightseeing around Taichung city.

    I usually do not have the attention span to sit through a vlog in long video format without skipping parts or fast forwarding. But for your video I sat through it throughout. Very informative, sufficient footage for each place and straight to the point 👍🏻

    Thank you so much for the vlog! i finally understand how to get around Taichung ^^
    Sorry, can i ask a question ? If i dun rent a bicycle, is it hard to walk around the lake?
    And from the bust stop, do i need to walk long to the pier to take the boat to Ita Thao Village ? I saw you cycled a lot ^^

    • @Chans_Itinerary
      @Chans_Itinerary  3 місяці тому

      It is easy to walk anyway. But, since the lake is big, and has many attractions places to visit, I recommend you rent a bicycle.
      The distance between the main bus stop (Shuishe) and the Shuishe Pier is about 300 meters (5-minute walk).

    Hi Chan, may I know what is the bus stop for K Gold hotel from the Taichung city bus station?

    • @Chans_Itinerary
      @Chans_Itinerary  5 місяців тому

      The nearest bus stop to the hotel is called "Mei Rong Pharmacy". I took a bus from THSR Taichung Station and got off at the bus stop which is about 130 meters from Kgold Hotel.

    where do u board the bus to Sun Moon Lake at Taichung Railway Station.

    • @Chans_Itinerary
      @Chans_Itinerary  10 місяців тому

      The bus station's name is "Taichung Station (Minzu Rd. Intersection)". You can find it on Google Maps.
      Please note that I took the bus from Taichung TRA railway station in the city.
      You can also take the bus from (THSR) Taichung high-speed railway station if you don't plan to stay in the city.

    Hi is there any luggage locker at shuishe pier?

      @Chans_Itinerary  3 місяці тому

      I am not sure about this. But in Taiwan, they have luggage lockers in most tourist sites and transportation hubs. You can contact Shuishe Visitor Centre for help.

    Hi! Do they have a boat ride back to Shuishe pier?

    • @Chans_Itinerary
      @Chans_Itinerary  10 місяців тому

      Yes, they have. I recommend you buy a round ticket which is cheaper than buying separately.
      But for me, I didn't. Because from Wenwu temple, I walked about 15 mins to Huanhu Rd. Intersection bus stop and take the bus back to Taichung City. All the buses departing from Shuishe Pier will need to pass the bus stop, anyway.

      It is called "Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Sun Moon Lake Line." It is a public bus no need to book in advance. I paid around 150 TWD (~5 USD) with Easy Card.
