Situated in Nantou County in central Taiwan at an altitude of 750 meters, Sun Moon Lake is one of the most popular tourist spots for couples. The name of the lake comes from Lalu Island, which gives the impression of a crescent moon and a full moon. Nestled within serene and stunning mountain scenery, the lake covers an area of eight square kilometers, making it the largest lake in Taiwan.
