Richard was excellent! He was always ready to help and certainly accommodating to our last minute requests and questions. Given that we are traveling with seniors and young children, Richard was able to blend the activities such that everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Again, we really impressed your service, even though there were some miscommunication between a guild and our request(not a big issue). Gabriel is very helpful and really nice; he informed us the history of important places in Sun Moon Lake. Moreover, we was very surprised that he could take us to get a private furry as the same price per persons as a public ferry. We all loved the restaurants to which the driver recommended. Overall, your service is great.

about Sun Moon Lake - Culture
Sun Moon Lake has a beauty that cannot be grasped by tourists who do not stay a night here. However, for time-limited tourists like you, we gingerly picked must-go attractions along the lake. Chung Tai Chan Monastery, the biggest Buddhist temple in the central Taiwan, shows resemblance to a mosque. Walk in through a cooper gate weighing 5.5 tons, you’ll see the tremendous Four Heavenly Kings propping up the four corners. The museum beside collects lots of Buddhist cultural relics coming from Mainland China. Puli, the town where Sun Moon Lake lies, boasts pure water that best suits brewing and paper handmaking. In addition to visiting Puli Winery and sampling Shaoxing wine, in the paper mill you can also make your own paper from fibers. After lunch, call on the famous chocolate shop in the town to have some desserts. Later, in a tea factory run by the previous mayor, sample Assam tea, which was admiringly praised by the Emperor of Japan. Lastly, located beside Sun Moon Lake, Wenwu Temple boasts an excellent view. Come to worship Confucius for academic progress and pray in front of Guangong for well-being.
