We got an early 7:30am bus and arrived in Sun Moon lake around 10am. We'd seen the place so hire bikes on our previous visit, so we looked our luggage in a locker and got a couple of bikes.
There is a bike track that goes around the first half of the lake and it was really beautiful. There were lots of other people doing the same thing. The weather was great and we stopped lots to enjoy the scenery.
Half way round the track ended but we carried on on the road. What we didn't realize is that you go up into the mountains. This wasn't expected and was very hard work!
It did provide us with more great views and the good bit about going up a hill is you have to go down the other side, which was nice. When we got to the final 5km there was another cycle path which hugged the coast and was very nice.
The total journey took about three hours and I'm so glad we cycled around hte whole lake. that evening we headed back to Taipei!
Not a bad day, we woke up in the mountains, traveled to a lake, cycled around it then traveled back to Taipei!!!
