Hi! This was early February, which was the cherry blossom season as well in Taiwan. The weather was so nice and it was the best time to visit Sun Moon Lake. I guess, I would not rent the manual bike anymore if I go back to Sun Moon Lake to bike (there are options for electric and semi electric bikes, and I am not the fittest, active person) but it was a good experience but very tiring. I just prefer slow and non tiring activities 😅
@@xoorange Thanks for your insights! I myself am not the fittest either, lol, so I'm going to take this into consideration when I visit in February next year😄
HI! did you just take the HSR to sun moon lake? i'm planning on going in two weeks and wanted to make sure which is the best route/fastest way in getting there. thanks!
Hello, yes we took the HSR from Taipei to Taichung HSR station. Then in Exit 5 of Taichung HSR station, there is a bus bay direct to Sun Moon Lake visitor center. There is a kiosk before exit the Taichung HSR and you can buy your bus ticket to Sun Moon Lake. They also offered us the combo ticket with boat ride (we find it way more affordable than buying the boat ride ticket in Sun Moon Lake). Hope that helps and enjoy your Sun Moon Lake trip!
hi po, i'll be adding this to my itinerary when we visit taiwan next month. May I know how did you get there from Taichung station and where did you buy the tickets. thanks
Hi! From Taichung HSR station, we took bus 6670 from Exit 5. Just before you leave exit 5 there are staff or ticket counter for the Sun Moon Lake. We got the combo ticket for one way bus from taichung hsr to sun moon lake and the lake ride (If i remember correctly, it is cheaper to get the combo ticket). Bus ride lasts for more or less 90 minutes. Hope that helps and enjoy your trip to Sun Moon Lake!
Hi, my apologies I really cannot recall if the bus can accept easycard payment. When we purchased our ticket from the kiosk, I just remember they gave us the ticket that looks like a voucher which need to give to the bus attendant before boarding the bus. We got the combo ticket which includes one way Taichung to SML and the roundtrip boat ride in Sun Moon Lake.
Hi! When did you go to Sun Moon lake? 😊 the weather looked so good! And may I ask why you wouldn’t bike around the lake again?
