Hi Yukii,

I’m sorry for my late response. Sure, you could do it in one day, but it would be a whirlwind trip. It’s possible to hike around the lake, but you can also rent bicycles to get around. I’d spread things out of two days so that you have some time to sit and enjoy these places. They’re really really beautiful and shouldn’t be rushed. Have fun!

Hi,

I am going to Taiwan in Sept. Sun Moon Lake is one of our destinations, but we do not know what we can do there – Can we go to all the places like the temples, Pagoda of Filial Virtue, the mountain lake by foot (all in 1 day)? Are they all near one another or do we need to take some form of transport to reach?

TIA!!

Hello!From Antler Hill, Red Deer County, Alberta Canada. Found your site through a google search of Sun Moon Lake…because my brother recently married in Taiwan. My sense of wonder at the beauty that you have captured makes me feel like going their one day. thanks for the inclusivity.

BA,
Thanks for your kind comments. Wow, Tiananmen in 1989. I can’t even begin to imagine what that was like!

I admit, I wondered the same thing myself when I saw this netting. Seems a little strange, especially when I saw the same netting in The Grand Formosa in Toroko Gorge for three flights of stairs. Better safe than sorry I guess.

Fascinating to see Sun Moon Lake pictures again. Great shots. I was there in 1989 when my Beijing plans were turned upside down during the Tienanmen incident. It was definitely a highlight of my time in Taiwan.

I remember stairs all over Taiwan with that netting. I wondered if it was a law or followed on some liability case? It seemed a strange precaution to take in a place where fire exists and stair cases were regularly locked, but I guess each country has it’s own particular worries for safety.
