Taiwan has many lakes which are great for a variety of different reasons on Holiday. Sun Moon Lake is the largest natural lake in all of Taiwan at about 3 square miles large and it's conveniently located right in the middle of Taiwan. As it is a touristy spot, there are ferries of many sizes available to tour around the lake. We took three large ferries as our group was over 100 people. There are many different places to see around the lake including temples, the island in the middle of the lake and the fancy restaurants that surrounding the lake. There are also many 4 star hotels available to stay at if you're interested in more than just a day-trip.
These first few pictures are just our group getting from Taichung to Sun Moon Lake. We took 3 buses and the trip was about 2.5 hours long. After we arrived we headed straight for the dock and got onto our boats. They were pretty big boats. It felt nice to be out at sea. The third picture is a shot of the High Speed Rail that goes from Taichung to Taipei in like 40-50 minutes. The fourth picture is a shot of a Korean ID card, she was one of the girls with us. Korean writing looks coool! The picture here is the island in the middle of Sun Moon Lake. Really, not much of interest was there except for some exotic plant life, it was just the middle of the lake!

Our next stop was on the other side of the Lake; it was an old Buddhist Temple. It was rather small too but had a lot of 'unique' things in and outside of it. Along the pathway to the Temple there were some taiwanese handing out fliers condemning the Chinese government for many different things it has done repressing people.

@Lina – do you have any questions about Taiwan?
hi chris, aside from iWalk’s award, i also got an award for you. hope u won’t get bored of awards. hehe.
btw, that peace sign during photos, better get used to it. maybe it’s easier to smile with a peace sign. haha. sometimes people would like to put that sign secretly on top of someone’s head for fun so if you don’t like it watch out for those peace signs popping up behind you.
nice place out there.
