Sun Moon Lake is located in Yuchi Township, Nantou County, Taiwan. It is Taiwan's largest natural lake, named for its shape — the eastern part resembles a sun and the western part a crescent moon. Surrounded by mountains, the lake's emerald waters mirror the sky. Visitors can cycle around the lake, take a boat cruise, ride the cable car, and visit the Wenwu Temple and Xuanzang Temple. It is also home to the Thao indigenous culture.
