I heard about Sun Moon Lake when I was very young, and it almost became one of the few keywords I had about Taiwan at that time. This article mainly introduces (1) the beautiful bicycle path beside Sun Moon Lake; (2) a very nice building; (3) a very nice hotel. If you follow the instructions mentioned in this article next time - ride a bicycle along the lakeside bicycle lane in Suntan, ride to the "Xiangshan Visitor Center" to see the nice concrete building, and eat a tea egg there, Then your trip to Sun Moon Lake will be as perfect as mine.

If you start from Taipei, you will be able to stand by the lakeside of Sun Moon Lake within 2 hours at the earliest - one hour from Taipei High Speed ​​Rail Station to Taichung High Speed ​​Rail Station, and one hour by bus from Taichung High Speed ​​Rail Station to Sun Moon Lake. Of course, if you book the "Yunpin Hotel" (free advertisement) in Sun Moon Lake, there will be a special bus to take you to the hotel at the high-speed rail station.


↑From the yellow thumbtack I marked, you can see the distance between Taipei and Taichung, as well as the distance between Taichung High Speed ​​Rail Station and Sun Moon Lake.


↑If you have time, you really want to rent a bicycle and go to the lake to experience it. The bicycle path around the lake (part of Sun Moon Lake) was rated by CNN as one of the top ten most beautiful bicycle paths in the world. Here, I would like to praise the service of Yunpin Hotel. The bicycle I rented has an electric power assist function, which saves effort when going uphill, and I also put a bottle of water thoughtfully.


↑This is the bicycle lane, and it is very relaxing to ride a bicycle by the lake.


↑The bridge of the bicycle lane.


↑There was an expert by the lake playing the guqin, and four big characters immediately appeared in his mind - "Swordsman", accompanied by background music - "The sea laughs, the tides on both sides of the bank, the ups and downs follow the waves and only remember the present... ".



↑Shuishe Dashan, the tallest mountain beside Sun Moon Lake, I personally think that the beauty of Sun Moon Lake lies in the mountains around it.


↑This is a building I like very much - Xiangshan Visitor Center.


↑The plain concrete wall requires some real strength for construction.


↑It is difficult to experience a good building in a photo, because the photo is two-dimensional, and more importantly, the photo cannot reflect the aura of the environment where the building is located.


↑What is so good about this building? I think it is good to coordinate the relationship between mountains and water.



↑In terms of space and materials, one can feel the oriental Zen.


↑This is the architect who designed the Xiangshan Visitor Center, Norihiko Dan. His great-grandfather, Takuma Dan, served as the president of Mitsui Corporation before the Second World War, but was assassinated by the military government in the bank hall in 1932 because of his anti-war stance. His father, Ikuma Dan, is one of the three major composers in Japan. Tuan Jihiko's pets are unusual, including boa constrictors and foxes. He once studied under Fumihiko Maki and was often called a wild man by his teachers. Koji Hara called him a genius because his diving depth is more than twice that of ordinary people. (ps: Fumihiko Maki and Hiroji Hara are world master architects)


↑This bird's-eye view can better understand the shape of the building, which was found from the Internet.


↑What you can't miss when you come to Xiangshan Visitor Center is the tea eggs sold here.


↑It's delicious!


↑The tea eggs here are called "Director's Tea Eggs", and the price in the picture is in Taiwan dollars.


↑This is "Yunpin Hotel".



↑Although the Buddha statue in the foyer is not big, it is basically the way the photos of Yunpin Hotel are taken.



↑The floor-to-ceiling glass in the elevator hall is so good that you can enjoy the beautiful sunset of Sun Moon Lake.



↑Although the hotel rooms are not cheap, the included buffet dinner and breakfast are quite good.

The principle of the following picture is to support the wall in and the wall out.

↑A house made of cakes.


↑Let’s talk about Goose Thoughts in the Groove of Yunpin Hotel.


↑This picture shows the location of Yunpin Hotel and Xiangshan Visitor Center. The distance from the lake is the distance we rode.
