On 16-17th of August me and my parents went for a two-days-trip to Sun Moon Lake. The city is famous for the lake that is shaped like a sun and moon, surrounded by high mountains and vegetation. By the Sun Moon lake you can find many temples, aboriginal village and many hiking trails. During this tour we visited for instance the Puli (famous for their wine production), Longshan temple (the oldest temple in Taiwan, about 1000 years old) in Lukang, the Chiang Kai Shek Pagoda and Ita Thao aboriginal village.
On the old street by the Sun Moon lake. In my hand it's a kind pf hamburger with steamed pumkin bun filled with sauted cabbage and fried wild boar. So random street food, I know.
The famous tea eggs boiled with local tea and mushrooms. Tasty!
On the market by Sun Moon lake. Lots of different kind of bananas (compared to Sweden) from a local plantage. We also passed by plantage with pineapple, dragon fruit, longan and sugar cane during the trip.
By the pagoda that is situated on the mountain top.
Having breakfast at Sun Moon Lake Lalu Hotel. Nice view, for sure.
Stone decoration in the Longshan temple, I'm impressed by the hand craft. Note the two gold fishes in the circle, which according to Chinese tradition symbolize luck and fortune.
In the toilet of Longshan. Poorly translated it says there're three things you should do with care and correctly: pray, pee and toss the toilet tissue. Humor.
In the gentleman alley in Lukang. The alley is so slim that two persons cannot walk through without avoiding touching each other.
