Located in Yuchi, Nantou the Sun Moon Lake is the largest lake in Taiwan with an impressive area of 8km sq. The maximum depth of the lake is 27km. The lake belongs to one of the Aboriginal tribes called Thao. There is an island in the middle of the lake by the name of Lalu that is considered sacred by the tribesmen. The tourists can learn more about the culture and traditions of the tribe by visiting the cultural village near the lake. The lake is immensely beautiful and the area around is also very breath-taking. It is named the Sun Moon Lake because it is said that the west side of the lake resembles the moon and the east side resembles the sun. There are some temples around the lake as well that are worth visiting.
