Excellent, attentive and caring guide
Excellent, attentive and caring guide. Able to bike along one of the world's best lanes as amateur and senior.Thank you Nancy
Beautiful place and different from Taipei. If you like to see lake, mountain and indigeneous culture of taiwan, this is a good option for one day visit. Our guide, Nancy Yu is the best !!Nice way to spend an afternoon.
Beautiful lake. Clear water, great views. Get a bike and ride for a while. Good, well marked path. Lots of people going slow. Nice way to spend an afternoon.Visit the aborigines villages
A must visit when you go to Taiwan right in the centre of Formosa, the treasure island. Wonderful sceneries around the lake and local shops and restaurants in Nantou. Visit the aborigines villages around the lake and take a bike ride around the lake.Tour of Taiwan
It is a clean lake with some hotels on the side and there is an island which can get on and there is a template there. Generally an interesting place.A small charming lake
A small charming lake that offers beautiful and relaxing views. You can rent a bike to ride along the shore and also take boat rides to the three piers that dot the lake. While not the most beautiful lake inn the world, it is a great place to visit if you are in the area.Peaceful 2 days
There is a wide range of hotels, the best being The Lalu. From your hotel you can enjoy a relaxing view of the lake and still take time to enjoy nature walks. The tourist boat on the lake is a disappointment, but everything else was well worth the visit. Suggest you stay for two days so your will have time to enjoy the peaceful setting.- 1
