Let's Visit Sun Moon Lake Again!

#2013-0918

Last Friday Jean and I accompanied Lynn and Catherine to Sun Moon Lake, one of the most beautiful places in central Taiwan. [For that delightful one-day trip, please click: #2013-0913A.] As it was also previously scheduled, Jean and I took our grandson Little Bee and his parents Antony and Anita to this famous scenic spot for a more relaxing visit, starting on Monday.

We visited the Peacock Garden on Monday afternoon. Then we went to Einhan Resort (映涵) for dinner, and when it was getting dark we took a leisure walk on the nearby Ita Thao Pier (伊達邵碼頭). We stayed at Sun Moon Lake Youth Activity Center (日月潭青年活動中心) for the night. On Tuesday morning we went to the Butterfly Garden (蝴蝶園) and had a look inside. We then walked along the Lakeside Trail (伊達邵親水步道) for some time. After that, we moved to Xuanzang Temple (玄奘寺 a Buddhist temple) where we stayed for a longer time enjoying "the best view" of Sun Moon Lake. Like Jean's and my previous trip here last Friday, we had lunch at Sun Moon Restaurant (日月餐坊) yesterday. And, finally, we all ate delicate ice-cream after lunch at the same store as Lynn, Catherine, Jean, and I did last Friday.

What a wonderful trip we had yesterday and the day before! It was Little Bee's first real visit to Sun Moon Lake; however, before he was born, he had been carried here by Anita in her body! [See also 明潭二日 (食、宿) and 明潭二日 (蝴蝶園、纜車).]
