Taiwan’s Coastline
Sun Moon Lake, an icon of Taiwan
Perhaps most people, like me, associate the very first word that comes to mind about Taiwan with Sun Moon Lake. This iconic symbol has been imprinted on our hearts since childhood, evoking endless longing. The Sun Lake and Moon Lake lie adjacent to each other, and under the sunlight, they paint a picturesque landscape of layered emerald mountains and shimmering waves. In this scene, we are not the main characters. We can do nothing about the ever-changing play of light and shadow, yet we deeply admire the morning mist that lingers over the lake. Gazing down at all of this, you realize just how beautiful it is—and immediately, a sense of reluctance and enchantment sets in.
The Yunpin Hotel where we stayed embraces the lake and mountain views of Sun Moon Lake. Most of its over 200 various rooms feature lake-view balconies, offering direct views of the misty lake at dawn and dusk—truly a view like no other. The beauty of Sun Moon Lake is unique. In the early morning, the lake is enveloped in thick fog, making the entire area look like an ink-wash painting, as if waking up only to drift into a dream.
