After returning from Thailand at the end of last year, I immediately took a two-day, one-night trip to Sun Moon Lake in January. It had been over four years since my last visit, and the lake scenery remained unchanged. The water and mountains always evoke a sense of peace in travelers, inviting them to linger here.

Reservation:agoda|booking.com|Trip|klook
This Lili Lishan Forest Hotel is a long-running hotel in Sun Moon Lake. The entire hotel is made of cypress wood. In addition, the location is excellent, so that guests in the house have a view of the lake from the guest room, lobby to the restaurant, and the hotel provides free Wireless WIFI, sometimes I will sit in the lobby while writing manuscripts while enjoying the scenery of the lake. I feel that coming here is so leisurely and relaxing!According to the reception curator, there is a teacher from a cram school in Taipei who always comes here every year for vacation. He does nothing but relaxes and walks around the hotel. After accumulating his busy and stressful work life, he leaves for Taipei. start working.
Sometimes we should also arrange our holiday life so that we can balance our life and work so that we can have better work momentum! (make a fist)

It was Friday that day to check in. There were also many foreign tourists, with the most people from Japan and Hong Kong. I think the beautiful lake view and the cypress-like room style are the main factors that attract them.After comparing our two hotels, my husband liked the slightly Japanese and ancient feel of the hotel, plus being able to be so close to Sun Moon Lake, and admiring the beauty of it at different times from morning to night, although I encountered it when I checked in In the case of poor sound insulation, the curator also said that it is expected to be refitted by the end of the year, and he is very much looking forward to the new look after the change.

What services are provided? Breakfast and common facilities at Lili Sun Moon Lake Zheyuan Clubhouse.
In the afternoon, the service staff kindly delivered afternoon tea, and prepared the fishing rod first, and after sharing the photos on the personal fb, everyone was also quite curious about where the restaurant has such a beautiful scenery and leisurely comfort.The Sun Moon Lake in January is still a bit cold, but looking at the lake with a little water vapor, surrounded by mountains, and the cool breeze, I feel that I can spend an afternoon here comfortably, which is the best enjoyment during the trip.In the past, many journeys were always in a hurry to catch sights and time. It seems that you don’t have to worry about time constraints when traveling domestically.
The evening meal is a flower-themed four dishes and one soup, including black tea fried pork ribs, fried golden needle flower, roselle sweet and sour ribs, stir-fried cabbage with goji berry and golden needle mushroom soup, all of which use ingredients from the Sun Moon Lake area. The theme of the main meal is designed with different seasons. It tastes refreshing and not greasy, and even because of the flower as the topic, the taste level of the dishes is improved.The next day we went to the restaurant at the bottom of the hall to dine. The breakfast included Chinese and Western meals. The best part was the 180-degree lake-surrounding landscape design, which allowed the residents to watch the lake in the morning while dining.
※ Afternoon tea and fishing, spend leisure time
▲ Three-tier afternoon tea, including desserts, fruits, salty cakes, plus a glass of refreshing juice, superb!
▲ Freshly cut seasonal fruits!The service staff also made fruit carvings with great care, which was the first to be eaten up by me! XD
▲ In the distance is the cable car boarding point of the Formosan Aboriginal Cultural Village, less than a 10-minute drive from the hotel.
▲ Ask Wendy for the position of Model for the little fishing master. (But actually didn't catch the half tail~ha)
▲ The sunset at Itathao Wharf is gradually falling, but it is a different scenery.
※ The package for two satisfies our taste buds!
▲ Roselle sweet and sour muscles, it's a good meal amidst the sour and sweetness!
▲ This deep-fried pork ribs with black tea is my husband's favorite, and there is a hint of tea fragrance.
▲ The golden lily flower is served with salt and pepper. It is also one of the must-order meals when we went to Taitung to shoot the lily flower.
▲ My personal favorite!The chef uses the dog's original color to make the whole dish delicious but better.
▲ It didn't take long...we were all taken away by us! (So it is not easy to have a complete picture of the dish)
※ List of breakfast and restaurants around the lake
▲ Very beautiful!It is understood that sometimes some tourists will come here to enjoy afternoon tea, just for the beautiful scenery.
▲ As an old-fashioned me, my favorite is the breakfast dishes like congee and side dishes. ^^b
Bonus: Boat tour at Lili Sun Moon Lake Zheyuan Hall
The night before, the curator asked us the time of boarding the next day, and thoughtfully helped us arrange the upcoming cruise service in the museum.Arrived early in the morning where the boats were moored next to Itathao Wharf. In the morning, the Sun Moon Lake was almost calm, reflecting the blue-green color between the blue sky and the mountains. I watched it all for a while.After that, I followed the ship’s brother to the front of the cruise ship "Zheyuan No. XNUMX". The brand-new and white ship was right in front of me. I couldn’t wait to board the ship, and I couldn’t hold back the expectation and happiness in my heart.
The boat elder brother introduced us to the equipment on board one by one, and told us that the Zheyuan No. XNUMX was purchased by the museum at the end of last year. In response to the green energy, the yacht was purchased with hybrid kinetic energy. It is not noisy when driven by electricity. Can quietly watch the full scenery of Sun Moon Lake.The ship is divided into upper and lower floors. There are two seats in the cabin below, and air-conditioning equipment is provided to resist the summer heat!There is an outdoor seating area outside the cabin, so we can ride in while blowing the cool mountain breeze.
Finally, the ship elder brother took us to the top of the upper ship. From above, we can see the mountains and mountains in the distance. The faint layers in the dim light make me feel that Sun Moon Lake is a fairyland on earth again!Brother Ship enthusiastically took us around Sun Moon Lake and explained the sights of each scenic spot. It took nearly an hour before I knew it. I really couldn’t bear to return to the dock and asked when the ship would be launched to serve the guests staying in. After learning that several electrical appliances are expected to be decorated in the cabin, guests will be allowed to take a cruise to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sun Moon Lake, so stay tuned!

How to get there by public transport? Transportation information and surrounding environment of Lili Sun Moon Lake Zheyuan Hall.
Early in the morning, I took the high-speed rail and transferred to Taichung Wuri Station, and then transferred to Nantou Bus to the Sun Moon Lake Shuishe Visitor Center. After booking the 14:00 shuttle service in advance, I saw the hotel’s service staff enthusiastically picking us up. It only takes about an hour and 40 minutes to arrive, and it is more and more convenient to travel in China!Arriving at Lili Lishan Forest Club (originally Lilizheyuan Club), the lady at the counter assisted in the check-in process. Since we belong to a package with two foods, we also intimately asked about the afternoon tea and dinner time, and assisted in making an appointment. Pick up and drop off service to Shueishe Visitor Center the next day.
