Taiwan Visit Day 6

Day 6 now... we had the chance of visiting the very scenic Sun Moon Lake ( 日月潭), where the quiet little lake on serene hills are dotted with hotels and yet still retain a nice calm air.


It was not very crowded during our visit which made the trip even more fulfilling. We were just soaking in the fresh air, and feasting our eyes with the greenery in front of us.


There was a peacock farm nearby which had a pretty large number of peacocks, but none of them wanted to open their feathers for me!


Just look at how green the water is up there at Sun Moon Lake! It looked so clean that even a hydrophobe like myself wanted to just jump in and chill out.


Right in the heart of it all is the Wen Woo Temple which has its main entrance facing the lake. Talk about good fengshui huh?

There you go, another angle where you can see the lake on the background. This temple has 2 very huge stone lions sitting just after the archway. This very colourful and attractive temple was crowded with visitors and people praying in its main hall.


Later in the day, we headed to the town of Taichung, which is famous for its cheap shoes. We spent some time combing 逢甲market which is located just outside the university with the same name. This market specialises in clothes, shoes and accessories and is a popular hang-out place for university-goers.
