    Redemption at ticket counter on level 5 was really easy and fuss free. Going to 89th observation deck was probably enough since we were only interested in the view. 101st level provided some beautiful decoration as background for people who are interested in taking pictures, not so much for view.

    As a psychological observer deeply involved in geography and cultural tourism, today I want to take you to Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan from a deeper perspective—it's not just a tourist attraction on a map, but a place where your heart can find peace. Is Sun Moon Lake worth visiting? My answer is: Absolutely, especially suitable for "tired people." If you're feeling overwhelmed by the pace of city life, if your children need a natural awakening away from electronic screens, if you crave truly slow-down family time— then Sun Moon Lake is the place that will allow you to rediscover the sounds of the wind, the water, and your inner voice. Highlight 1: Picturesque Scenery, Poetic Name Sun Moon Lake is located in Yuchi Township, Nantou County, and is Taiwan's largest natural lake. Its name comes from its shape: The northern half of the lake is shaped like the sun (round), hence the name "Sun Lake"; the southern half is curved like the moon (arc), hence the name "Moon Lake." In the early morning, when a light mist swirls around the lake, it's as if a layer of gauze has been laid on its surface; at sunset, golden light spills onto the water, creating a dreamlike scene. Many tourists say, "Standing at Xuanzang Temple Pier, all my worries suddenly seemed to disappear." This isn't just about the beauty of the scenery, but also a therapeutic effect – when your vision is filled with pure nature, your brain automatically enters a "relaxation mode." Highlight Two: Cycling and Walking Around the Lake – Rediscover the Rhythm of Life Sun Moon Lake boasts the most comprehensive lakeside bike path in Taiwan, approximately 33 kilometers long, with numerous rental points and rest stops along the way. You can choose: Easy Version: Cycle from Shuishe Pier to Xiangshan Administrative Center (approximately 6 kilometers), with viewpoints, cafes, and indigenous handicraft markets along the way; Deeper Experience: Challenge yourself with the entire route, traversing tunnels, climbing hills, and speeding along the lake, feeling the resonance between your body and nature. I once took a family with a teenager suffering from chronic anxiety there. After three consecutive days of cycling, the almost silent child asked for the first time, "Dad, can we come again tomorrow?" Exercise + beautiful scenery + a stress-free environment is the best form of psychological relaxation. Highlight Three: Cultural Integration, Hearing the Heartbeat of Taiwan Sun Moon Lake is not only a natural scenic spot, but also the ancestral home of the Shao indigenous people. They are the only indigenous group in Taiwan living on the shores of a lake. We recommend attending: A Shao ethnic song and dance performance: Listen to them sing ancestral songs in their ancient language; A traditional handicraft workshop: Let your child make a rattan coaster or a totem wood carving; A night tour of an oolong tea plantation: Learn about the local centuries-old tea-growing history and savor a cup of mellow Dong Ding oolong. These experiences won't be on exams, but they will plant a seed of respect for the land, culture, and life in your child's heart. Highlight Four: A Slow-Paced Travel Experience Suitable for the Whole Family Unlike the crowds at city attractions, Sun Moon Lake offers a relaxed pace, making it perfect for families and seniors: ✅ Concentrated attractions, convenient transportation (you can take a yacht to connect various piers) ✅ Clean and hygienic dining options; recommended dishes include Grandma's Tea Eggs, Wild Boar Rice, and Millet Mochi ✅ Many unique guesthouses are built along the lake, offering scenic views from their windows; the nights are so tranquil you can hear frogs croaking. Staying overnight is especially recommended. As night falls, the soft lights reflected on the lake create a serene atmosphere that is truly unforgettable.

    You can enjoy the scenery of Taipei City by taking the cable car. There is also greenery along the way. The wind on the mountain is relatively strong and it feels cool. There are many shops selling tea, and the shop assistants are warm and friendly.

    The Kaohsiung British Consulate is located on the Cijin Peninsula in Gushan District, Kaohsiung City. It was built in 1865 and was the British diplomatic mission in Taiwan at that time. The building style of the consulate is a Western classical building with historical significance. Today, after restoration and reconstruction, it has become a museum that displays the history and culture of Britain in Taiwan. Visitors can visit the historical exhibitions of the consulate, enjoy the beautiful harbor views, and learn about the diplomatic and trade activities at that time. This is an important cultural and historical attraction in Kaohsiung.

    Suzuka Circuit Park in Kaohsiung was fantastic! We had a great time exploring all the rides and attractions.
