Day 1 - Welcome to Taiwan!

Day 2 - Sun Moon Lake & Temples

Today,  you’ll begin your journey from Taipei to the scenic Sun Moon Lake, located in central Taiwan. The lake gets its name from its distinctive shape—resembling the sun on one side and the moon on the other—separated by Lalu Island. This beautiful region is home to the indigenous Thao people and is known for its tranquil surroundings and rich cultural heritage.

Upon arrival, you’ll explore the highlights of Sun Moon Lake by private car. Your first stop is Ita Thao Village, where you’ll gain insight into the traditions and daily life of the Thao community. Then, visit Ci’en Pagoda, a landmark built by Chiang Kai-shek to honor his mother.

Continue to Xuanzang Temple, a peaceful retreat dedicated to the famous monk, and then to the grand Wenwu Temple, which honors both civil and martial deities. Throughout the day, your guide will provide background on the area's cultural and historical significance.

After the tour, you’ll be transferred to your hotel for the evening.

Here, you'll explore the renowned Fo Guang Shan Monastery, home to the tallest Buddha statue in Southeast Asia.
