  • Fun place! We rented bikes and rode around half the lake before taking the ferry back to where we started. Some places along the route can get quite steep, but it balances out with the scenery and downhill slopes in between. Worth the trip!
  • Great one-day trip from Taichung. Recommend the day-pass, which includes all kinds of transport. Worth it!
