Sun Moon Lake
by chikidee
Sun Moon lake lies in the middle of Taiwan in the mountain. It's a popular place for honeymooners, I read...The main village is quite small but there are many hotels. We had quite a nice one for good value! Unfortunately, I can't remember its name. But it was just at the beach in the traffic free aeria. From our room we had a fantastic view over the lake.We hired a boat and paddled all the way out to the island. Well, because the lake is dammed this island was a hill at one stage. It used to be the grave yard of the local people. For that reason it's still sacred ground!There are often earthquakes in the aeria of Sun Moon lake. There was a very bad one in 1999 ,I think , and you can still see some damage today!
