FAQ
You can easily purchase the Sun Moon Lake Pass through KKday, which offers a convenient booking process. Simply show your QR code for quick ticket exchange and skip potential queues. The pass typically includes a Sun Moon Lake Cable Car ticket for panoramic mountain views, a Lake Cruise ticket with insightful guided commentary on the lake's natural and cultural heritage, and a Bicycle Rental Voucher, allowing you to cycle on one of the world's most beautiful bike paths.
To reach Sun Moon Lake, you can take intercity buses directly from Taipei Main Station or transfer via Taichung. From Taipei, direct buses are available. If coming from other cities like Kaohsiung, you can take a High-Speed Rail (HSR) to Taichung HSR Station, then transfer to a Nantou Bus or Taiwan Tourist Shuttle service directly to Sun Moon Lake. Travel times vary, with buses from Taichung taking approximately 90 minutes.
Swimming in Sun Moon Lake is generally not permitted for public visitors, primarily due to safety concerns, water quality management, and conservation efforts. The main exception is during the annual Sun Moon Lake International Swimming Carnival. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the lake's beauty through activities like boat cruises, cycling, and the cable car, while respecting all posted regulations to preserve the natural environment.
Without a car, the best ways to explore Sun Moon Lake are the round-the-lake bus, bicycle rentals, and lake cruise boats. The round-the-lake bus connects all major attractions, allowing hop-on/hop-off flexibility. Bicycle rentals are popular for exploring the scenic bike paths, including routes acclaimed by CNN. Lake cruises offer a unique perspective on the lake's beauty, often including stops at key temples and islands. These options are usually covered by a Sun Moon Lake Pass.
The Sun Moon Lake Pass provides access to several key activities designed for comprehensive exploration. It includes a ticket for the Sun Moon Lake Cable Car, offering 360-degree views as it crosses Mount Buji. A lake cruise ticket is also part of the pass, allowing you to admire the scenery from the water, often with captain-led guided commentary. Additionally, a bicycle rental voucher is included, so you can cycle along paths recognized as some of the world's most beautiful.
Cycling around the main loop of Sun Moon Lake, which features parts of a route recognized by CNN as one of the world's most beautiful, typically takes about 2 to 3 hours at a leisurely pace, depending on stops. The most popular route is the Xiangshan-Shuishe segment, known for its picturesque views and dedicated bike paths. There are also shorter, more accessible sections if you prefer a quicker ride or want to explore specific areas like Ita Thao.
The Sun Moon Lake Cable Car provides an exhilarating aerial experience with breathtaking panoramic views. As it ascends and crosses Mount Buji, reaching an altitude of 1044 meters, passengers can enjoy sweeping 360-degree vistas of the entire Sun Moon Lake, its surrounding mountains, and forested landscapes. It connects different areas around the lake, offering a unique perspective of its natural beauty from high above.
To depart from Sun Moon Lake to major cities, the most common method is taking an intercity bus. Direct bus services are available from Sun Moon Lake to Taipei Main Station. Alternatively, you can take a Nantou Bus or Taiwan Tourist Shuttle from Sun Moon Lake back to Taichung HSR Station, and from there, connect to the High-Speed Rail (HSR) for travel to other major cities such as Taipei, Kaohsiung, or Tainan, offering a faster return journey.
