30 years ago. While my past memories of this Taiwan’s mega tourist attraction have blurred, one thing remains clear—the enchanting views of a vast body of clean, turquoise water surrounded by the blue and sometimes misty mountains remains unchanged.
I stayed at an inexpensive old-fashioned hotel in Shuili Township, Nantou County, about 30 minutes’ drive from Sun Moon Lake on the previous night to avoid getting ripped off by one of the lakeside hotels, which usually starts from NT$4,000 per night.
I took Provincial Highway No. 21 from Shuili to reach Xiangshan Visitor Center (向山遊客中心) after visiting Checheng, which is an old logging village in Shuili and also the last station of the JiJi Train Line.
