Sun Moon Lake is beautiful all year round, but autumn is more suitable for travel than any other season. Recently, there have been fewer tourists visiting Sun Moon Lake, making it even more peaceful and returning to its simple charm. It has also become a must-visit spot for many domestic families cycling together. Soon, the lively 2016 Sun Moon Lake International Fireworks, Music, and Cycling Festival will kick off on October 14th. Cycling enthusiasts are sure to make a pilgrimage here~Why wait? Bring your loved ones to enjoy Sun Moon Lake from October to December!
If you want comfortable and cozy accommodation, don’t miss the Fullery Hot Spring Hotel, which grandly opened last year. In addition to its modern facilities, the overall design features a tropical Southeast Asian style, instantly relaxing you upon entering the hotel. Paired with the warm central Taiwan sun, it’s simply an incredibly joyful experience!
Hot spring hotel rates are generally expensive, and Sun Moon Lake is no exception. However, the special weekday rate for a one-night stay with meals for two people is only NT$5,999, perfect for planning a two-day, one-night getaway. By simply using the hotel’s thoughtfully provided free amenities—such as swimming or soaking in the outdoor water area, renting electric scooters, and lake cruise tickets—you’ll have plenty to do. When you’re tired, just return to your room to soak in the hot springs and relax. Other free amenities for guests include indoor and outdoor leisure facilities: an outdoor water play area featuring an open-air children's zone, hot spring massage pools, splash pools, and an indoor children's playroom + WII motion-sensing game zone + table soccer + table tennis + billiards + chess room + gym + free participation in the Cat V event (requires advance reservation) + free Wi-Fi + free parking.
Located beside the Mingtan section of the scenic lakeside highway, close to the Cat V area, it’s just a short walk from the scenic lakeside cycling trail. The hotel is only a seven-minute walk from the main tourist center, making it very convenient for visitors. Whether you're here for leisure or sightseeing, it’s just a short stroll away.
The Fullery Hot Spring Hotel features bicarbonate springs, also known as "beauty springs" (colorless, odorless, and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth!). The spring temperature is about 42°C—neither too hot nor too cold. There are also ten independent and secluded hot spring rooms, with semi-open-air scenic designs. Put on a yukata and it feels like you’ve teleported to Japan for a soak. The completely relaxing and elegant environment makes it the best hot spring choice for the whole family. Additionally, moms can enjoy a specially arranged two-stage rock bed bath, which helps eliminate excess fat and accelerate metabolism, keeping moms healthy and their skin radiant.
Upon entering the room, you’ll find premium red jade Mini No. 18 tea bags from Nantou on the table, available for guests to brew and enjoy. Even the teaware is custom-made, exuding care and quality, allowing every guest to feel the hotel’s dedication. Each room is equipped with a large Japanese-style drop-in bathtub, offering private hot spring soaking in the room. Gaze out the window to take in the natural scenery. The room amenities are like works of art, including personalized bathrobes (Japanese-style yukatas), slippers, and refined toiletries. The bathroom features a separated wet and dry area with ample space, plus a high-end bidet toilet! Each bed is furnished with a full set of feather pillows and duvets. If you like the in-room teaware or amenities, you can also purchase them separately from the hotel~
The outdoor children's water play area is open all year round, adjacent to a hot spring massage pool and splash pool. The view is filled with the lush greenery of Cat V, creating a refreshing and grass-scented water play space. The night view is even more stunning, as if you've arrived in a dreamy paradise.

(No exaggeration—our extra-attentive colleague actually bought the hotel’s feather pillows and duvet covers to take home—they’re that comfy for sleeping. And of course, she bought the tea too!)
Are you tired? Playing with the kids is super energy-draining… After working so hard for the family, when was the last time you took care of yourself? Come on, come on!! Even I, the overly attentive one, am turning from a girl into an old lady (wiping away tears)...
P.S.: The Tanghua (flower blossom) hot spring uses three rare minerals from Japan’s Tamagawa Hot Springs—"negative ion stone," "far-infrared stone"—which promote metabolism and offer benefits like "weight loss," "immune system boost," "sweating and fat elimination," and "beauty," helping moms slim down effortlessly. Phase 1: (Drinking negative ion water)
Warms the internal organs, especially the uterus, accelerating blood circulation, increasing heart rate, and raising body temperature.
Phase 2: (Drinking lemon water)
Warms the lymph nodes on both sides to promote lymphatic circulation. At this stage, sweat glands start to activate, regulating body temperature with sweat output equivalent to running 10 kilometers (seriously, you’ll sweat even while lying down!). These minerals come from Japan’s Tamagawa Hot Springs in Akita Prefecture and include three types of stones: high-concentration negative ions, far-infrared (aka "rejuvenating light"), and the unique Tamagawa Tanghua stone (artificial Beitou stone), which is rich in trace elements essential to the human body but hard to obtain in daily life. This is the only place in Sun Moon Lake with both hot and cold springs—the Fleurie Hot Spring Hotel!
The second-day buffet breakfast offers both Western and Chinese options, including congee. The restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows let in the morning light, and the window seats are the most popular—don’t miss the chance to snap a great breakfast photo. Operating Hours: Breakfast 07:00–10:00. You can also have breakfast first and then head out to explore!
A healthy breakfast is one of the best sources of energy.
From 7:00–8:30 AM, there’s a guided tour of the Tamagawa Tea Plantation (originally built in 1936 as a Japanese-style official residence by the Tea Improvement Station). Surrounded by greenery, it has a historical charm and is one of the few remaining historic sites in Taiwan. Next, I’ll use the hotel as my base to explore Sun Moon Lake in the most eco-friendly way possible—no need to drive. You can choose the complimentary Sun Moon Lake cruise tickets or electric scooters provided by the hotel. Riding along with the excitement of the 2016 Sun Moon Lake International Fireworks, Music, and Cycling Festival, let me, your super-sleuth assistant, take you out of the hotel for a bike ride around the lake. Go~~ This trip isn’t about staying in the hotel—Mom and I want to make a family biking plan happen. And nowadays, you don’t have to take a boat to tour Sun Moon Lake. The coolest way is to bike together as a family. It’s not only healthier but also lets you follow the beautiful scenery around the lake. Start by riding the electric scooter from the hotel, passing Shuishe Dam and heading to Xiangshan Visitor Center—a total distance of about 3 km. The route hugs the lakeshore with stunning views and is ranked by CNN as one of the world’s top 10 most beautiful cycling paths. The ride is short, mostly flat or gently sloped, making it perfect for families biking together.The Shuishe Dam Park is the only outlet of Sun Moon Lake, built to regulate water flow between Sun Moon Lake and Mingtan Reservoir. Strolling along the wooden boardwalk by the shore has made it a favorite spot for photographers—don’t forget to take a commemorative photo here!The Sun Moon Lake cruise tickets are available at Shuishe Pier in Yuchi Township, Nantou County, about seven minutes from the hotel.
