Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within a 15-minute drive of the resort:

• Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area: Taiwan’s largest alpine lake, just 10 minutes from the resort, is famous for its iconic blue waters, winding cycling paths that loop the entire shore, and the serene Wen Wu Temple perched on its northern banks. Catch a ferry to Lalu Island, the sacred heart of the lake, for unobstructed panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
• Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village: A 12-minute drive away, this open-air cultural park and amusement park combines immersive exhibits on Taiwan’s 16 indigenous tribes with thrilling rollercoasters and seasonal cherry blossom displays that draw visitors from across the island every spring.
• Jinlong Mountain Hiking Trail: A quiet, less crowded alternative to Sun Moon Lake’s popular trails, this 3km moderate path sits 15 minutes from the resort, and rewards hikers with sweeping sunrise views over the entire lake and surrounding tea plantations.

Travel Tips

If you plan to visit during peak season (weekends, national holidays, and cherry blossom season in late February to early March), book your room at least two weeks in advance to secure availability. Note that upper floors are only accessible via stairs, so travelers with mobility issues should request a ground-floor room when booking. Stop by the on-site shopping village to pick up locally made sun cakes and high-altitude oolong tea, popular Nantou souvenirs to bring home. For the best weather, visit between October and December, when cool, clear skies offer unobstructed views of Sun Moon Lake’s mountain backdrops.
