Exploring Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan | Hiking, Biking & Eating!

We spent two days exploring Sun Moon Lake, the largest lake in Taiwan. Sun Moon lake is located in the middle of Taiwan in the Yuchi Township. We recommend hiking the Shuishe Great Mountain Trail, the tallest peak in the area, riding bikes around the lake, and taking the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway to visit the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village.

We enjoyed our quick getaway to Sun Moon Lake. The Sun Moon Lake Bicycle Trail has been named one of the world's most beautiful cycling trails. We weren't originally going to hike in this area but were glad to have found a mountain to hike. Remember to start before 7 am to beat the crowds and the humidity. We hope you enjoyed the video!

Unfortunately, I sweat buckets…

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Yay! I’m not the only one 😆🤣 -Helen

[@5tarsybarite]

Agreed! Sweating buckets is a UK idiom. Or sweating bullets.

[@HelenandTimTravel]

That’s neat! We have never heard of seated bullets before
