Mom and Dad's Trip to Taiwan Part 5

Day 5 - December 21, 2006 Sun Moon Lake We woke up this morning and decided to go on the boat cruise around the Lake. The first stop was a floating Island. Due to a dam upstream, the floating island is quite a bit smaller than it was before. Most of it is now floating on a man made dock-like structure. There is one very small non-floating part. The next stop was the other side of the island where there is a tourist trap street where one can get some shopping done.

The pagoda was built by Chiang Kai Shek, or at least at his request, for his wife. To get there one must first hike up steps for 600 metres and then seven flights of stairs to get to the top of the Pagoda. At the top the view is quite nice and you can ring the bell.

There, after driving around for a while, we found a hotel run by Eva Airlines.
