Discover Sun Moon Lake’s lakeside temples, mountain views and local culture on a private day tour from Taipei.

Begin with pickup from your Taipei accommodation and travel by private air-conditioned vehicle. Watch the scenery change from city streets to countryside and mountain landscapes as you approach the lake.

Visit Wenwu Temple, where ornate halls and terraces overlook Sun Moon Lake. Explore the temple grounds and admire its traditional architecture while taking in views across the water.

Continue to the Hanbi Trail for a leisurely lakeside walk. Follow the shaded path and enjoy views of the lake and surrounding mountains, with time to stop for photographs.

Board a sightseeing boat at Shuishe Pier and cruise across the lake. Take in the forested shores and mountain scenery as you travel towards Ita Thao.

Explore Ita Thao’s streets, local shops and food stalls, and learn about the Indigenous Thao community. Take a break for lunch or sample local snacks; food and drinks are at your own expense.

Visit Xuanguang Temple and enjoy its lakeside setting. Spend time exploring the grounds and admiring the views before continuing to Ci’en Pagoda.

Follow the uphill path to Ci’en Pagoda, then climb its stairs for panoramic views across Sun Moon Lake and the surrounding hills.

After a day of temples, lakeside walks and scenic cruising, relax on the private journey back to your Taipei accommodation.
