by AndreasK

The uninhabited Shianjiau Island is located to the south of Jibei. Except for a small eroded rock platform in the east, it consists mainly of sand. From a distance, the island looks like a white-sand mirage floating in the sea. Because of the tropical fish and corals, Shianjiau is ideal for snorkelers. The island is located between mainland China and Taiwan (it's not on the map below).

If you have been to Toroko Gorge National Park, take a trip to Sun Moon Lake in the Centre of Taiwan. Swimming is not allowed in the lake but it's nice to scooter around it.From Taipei take a bus to Puli and rent a scooter there. You can take a bus to Sun Moon Lake from Puli as well but there are no scooter rental shops there.

Miniatures Museum of Taiwan With a collection of over 200 pieces, the Miniatures Museum of Taiwan is Asia's largest and the world's second largest museum of miniature art. This collection of dollhouses, rooms, sample furniture, dolls and toys, antiques as well as the newly crafted miniatures made by talented artisans serves as a visual documented piece of history. A visitor not only sees the furniture and accessories of today but those enjoyed by our ancestors of yesterday. The museum is open from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday and it is closed on Monday. The museum is located at the Chien Kuo North Road and across the street from the Chung Shan Girl High School. The museum is at the basement of the building.
