Sun Moon Lake Of Taiwan (日月潭)

It was a sunny morning at Sun Moon Lake, after our breakfast at Miracolo Hotel, all out us 'Ran' out the hotel to take the beautiful photo of The Sun Moon Lake of Taiwan!
The sky was So Blue and the Sun was shine on us! What a Nice weather!

You can compare my the other photo in the Miracolo Hotel and the photo below...you can visualize the Big different when we arrived the night before...

Most of the signage in Sun Moon Lake are using Solar panel for the supply, and I noticed there were many Surveillance Cameras cover the Sun Moon Lake area.

The lamp pole in Sun Moon Lake all decorated with the Sun & Moon symbols

What a Scenic View of Sun Moon Lake! Look at the Blue Sky!

The lake was So calm and the sky was Blue...PARADISE! At least to me...

We found the pathway to the lake site, the area was very well maintained. It was a nice place to have a morning walk along the lake...

The pathway along the lake...


We were very busy taking photos of the Beautiful scenery.

Syuan Kuang Temple and the Pagoda on the left.

Syuan Kuang Temple at the other side of the lake which we going to visit shortly...

Some kind of beacon during the night, I'm not sure what was that for?!

Special insect spotted along the pathway...

After about 45 minutes, we said goodbye (sadly) to Miracolo Hotel and we proceed to our next destination - Shuishe Pier for our Lake Cruise.

The area was so peaceful during the night, and we were enjoyed taking photos along the pathway...

After about 30 minutes, we walked down the jetty...waiting to take the photo of the Musical Fountain.

It was so beautiful when I turn back and looked the lighting of the roll of hotel at Shuishe Jetty...

I wish I can own one of these...

Suddenly, the music started and surround the whole jetty, followed by the colourful water 'dancing' in front of us!

The Musical Fountain of Shuishe Jetty

We spend about 30 minutes just to snapped on the colourful fountain until the whole area quite down again...

I packed a few cans of Taiwan Beer and we went back to the hotel...end of our second day at Taiwan.

We were bought to this restaurant by our driver (Mr Yew) and all dishes are serve and cook in Ita Thao's recipes. Ita Thao is one of the Taiwanese Aborigines, we visited their village in the next day and I will blog about it later...

All dishes were ordered by our driver, and served on table very fast!
Before we start our dinner, the lady boss came to introduced every dishes from the restaurant...and she claimed that the fish (below) are only available in this restaurant, we can't get elsewhere in the whole of Taiwan! Really?!

Miracolo View Hotel (米洛克飯店) at Sun Moon Lake (日月潭), Taiwan.

Miracolo View Hotel (米洛克) (N23.87221 E120.92073) is located along ZhongZheng Road of Yuchih Township, Sun Moon Lake. The elevation is 760 meter (recorded from the Garmin Etrex Vista GPS Device). The air was cooling over here!

Miracolo Hotel

It took about 30 minutes drive from CheCheng town, a bit disappointed because was cloudy when we arrived...so we can't see the beauty of the Sun Moon Lake in that evening...

The Hotel's Lobby

It was a simple, clean and nice hotel beside the beautiful lake. We were stayed here for a night...
All the rooms here are Lake view, as I don't see any room facing the other side of the hotel. Let me share some photos of the room...

Our standard room in Miracolo Hotel

The room has the spectacular view of the Sun Moon Lake, Great!

Toothbrush and comb also provided...

The washroom - you will having problem if your size bigger than the space...

The shower also function as a Water Massage machine, but it was Damn painful! Maybe we don't know about the setting...haha!

Some photos taken from the window...

The coastal road in front of the hotel

I personally like this quite and peaceful hotel, maybe because it's located away from the Suishe town.
Breakfast was included in our package.

The Cafe which served buffet breakfast in the next morning

Every table was prepared with 4 simple dishes as below...

The 4 common dishes on every table

And we had some extra...

Hash brown, bacon and sausage

And another bowl of congee

We were really lucky because the sun shine on the next morning! Yes! That was our Great Photography session! :)
