Impression of Sun Moon Lake: Hu Defu sings of a beautiful spring

Located in the heart of Taiwan, Sun Moon Lake is surrounded by lush mountains and shimmering waters, its serene beauty making it one of the most beloved destinations for both domestic and international visitors. The majestic presence of this natural lake offers different experiences year-round, at any time of day—whether boating across its surface, driving around its shores, or climbing towers to gaze over the lakeside scenery. This year, indigenous singer Hu Defu has been specially invited to perform enchanting melodies under the starry skies of Sun Moon Lake.

Zhang Yimou once said, “Sun Moon Lake is very beautiful and world-famous”; and Hu Defu’s voice has earned praise from many notable figures. Jiang Xun once complimented him: “His songs are the most beautiful sounds of Taiwan. His deep, rich voice reminds me of the towering mountains in the east, and the vast, surging seas.” This year, the Cloudy Bay Hotel Sun Moon Lake launched the “Spring Sensation” event, featuring a series of nature-based activities. On March 18 and 19, the “Hu Defu Original Color Concert” will be held under the starlit skies surrounded by high mountains. Guests can sit, stand, or lounge on the ground at Cloudy Bay Plaza, listening together to the primal colors of the earth’s songs.

Teacher Hu Defu will perform his Golden Melody Award-winning song “The Wind of the Pacific” and others, gently transporting everyone back to a time of natural authenticity. During the concert, he will also join children from Dekua Elementary School near Sun Moon Lake to sing “The Hunting Song,” expressing the solemn spirit of ancient hunters heading out. The concert will also feature exciting indigenous dance performances, offering delightful entertainment for dining or lodging guests.

The “Spring Sensation” nature activities at Cloudy Bay Hotel Sun Moon Lake allow guests to check in and stay in lakeside rooms; they can also choose to stay in garden-view rooms, sea-view rooms, or cloud-view rooms. Options include free use of the resort shuttle bus, a choice between the Dan Tong buffet breakfast, Dan Tong buffet lunch, or Dan Tong buffet dinner—or the “Mist over the Lake” gourmet dinner at Han Yan Cui. There are also various countryside activities, NT$200 in countryside coins, access to the Hydro Thermal Spa, and free scheduled shuttle service to and from Wuri High-Speed Rail Station. The package for two people is NT$4,100 per person. For more information about the Spring Sensation at Cloudy Bay Sun Moon Lake, please visit the hotel’s official website or call (049) 285-6788.
