Description
Start your day with a convenient hotel pickup from Taipei and journey to Lukang Old Town, one of Taiwan’s most historic cultural hubs. Wander through Lukang Old Street and Nine-Turns Lane, admiring centuries-old architecture and local shops. Try your hand at traditional lantern-making and create a beautiful keepsake. Sample local treats like oyster omelets and peanut candy along the way. Next, explore Tianhou Temple, dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu. Admire its ornate design, colorful decorations, and historical significance to local fishermen and traders. Travel toward Sun Moon Lake while enjoying the changing scenery — from lush farmlands to misty mountains — building anticipation for one of Taiwan’s most iconic natural retreats. Visit the Xiangshan Scenic Lookout, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass panels and panoramic views over the lake — an ideal spot for photography and sightseeing. Next, visit the majestic Wenwu Temple, a spiritual landmark overlooking the lake. Admire traditional Chinese architecture and learn about the gods worshiped for wisdom and bravery. Enjoy a scenic boat cruise across Sun Moon Lake, soaking in tranquil waters and mountain views. Then take a leisurely stroll along the Hanbi Trail — a peaceful lakeside path with stunning scenery at every turn. Continue to Ita Thao Village, home to Taiwan’s indigenous Thao tribe. Try local snacks, shop for handmade crafts, and soak in the vibrant lakeside atmosphere. Conclude your day at Ci’en Pagoda, a hilltop landmark offering sweeping panoramic views of Sun Moon Lake — an ideal spot for photos and soaking in the scenery.Includes
