Recommended place to watch the sun set at Sun Moon Lake

6 January 2016

As the sun sets in the west, a good place to watch the sun set and experience dusk over Sun Moon Lake is the Wenwu Temple. It is located on a high ground, on the eastern shore of the lake and offers panoramic view of the lake with the Central Mountains in the background. T

here is a large viewing deck just outside the temple. Many photographers could be seen on this day, some with fancy equipment and tripods stands. The deck is wide enough to accommodate everyone. Alternatively, go inside the temple and climb to the highest spot where one can see the lake over the roofs of the temple.

Access to the Wenwu temple is by the Round the Lake Bus, taxi or private car. If taking the bus, do note the timings for the last bus.

 The viewing deck outside the Wenwu Temple could be seen just behind the entrance. The red figurine at the lower corner is that of a monkey as 2016 is the Year of the Monkey.
