Luckily we had a valid SIM card to make calls because we almost got left out by the driver. Thank God it is all good and we head on to Sun Moon Lake and reach there in around one and a half hour. Carrying our luggage to travel from one place to another has made easy by this shared transportation service. Even though public transport is quite convenient here, yet by paying a little bit more to ease your burden, why not? By the way, it is only TWD 300 per person.
There are altogether three jetty in Sun Moon Lake which are Shueishe (水社), Syuanguang (玄光寺) and Yidashao (伊达邵). So we are staying at Shueishe tonight at MeiJen House (美真馆). MeiJen is very helpful and you can contact her through WhatsApp if you have any queries. She helped us a lot in solving our transportation queries. We were a bit lost when we reach the Tourist Centre, and then we started to look for our "home", and then here we are <3
It is too early to check-in (their check-in time is 3.00pm) and MeiJen was asking about our itinerary. She gave us a few suggestions. There are two ways to reach to the cable car station, either by ferry or by bus. Due to time limitation, we choose to go by bus and have our lake tour tomorrow by ferry. We waited for the bus for around 15mins and the journey took another 15mins to reach the cable car station. The bus will alert you the next station and the driver will also inform you when that is the cable car station.
Formosan Village tickets includes free cable car service. So if you have bought the entrance ticket to Formosan Village, you are not required to purchase another tickets for cable car. Luckily it is not very crowded so we got one cable car for 2 person only :) Doesn't need to mix with others <3
I forgotten how long the journey takes because we were busying "whoah" on the scenery. Hahaha... The last cable car to go back is on 4.30pm which is kinda rush for us. So we had decided to take bus after we finish our visit which MeiJen has already told us where and when. Good service :)
This is the main entrance after you come down from the cable car. The friendly staff will remind you that their last fetch is at 4.30pm. We were a bit lost and don't know where to go because we saw another cable car station @.@ We thought it is the same but in fact it is not. This area is the village, sort of museum type.
So this cable car actually leads you to here...
Hahaha... we got bit excited even though we are not familiar with this series :P The love immediately bought one souvenir from the shop. Upon purchasing, the cashier gave us a little pamphlet. We are required to collect the character stamps from different station, collect 7 stamps and above to get a mystery gift. We managed to get 6 only :( Just one more to grab the mystery gift :(
This blog post will be flooded with many many photos because it is kinda hard not to take photo here :P You will definitely go crazy if you're a One-Piece fans. Just the weather is not so good because it was raining and we have to carry the umbrella all the way :(
So we went to watch this 3D animation, saw a lot of people queuing and we just join the crowd. There are only selected time to watch the animation and they can take up to 300 audience for one show.
After the show, following the map and we enter this thing call One Piece Memorial Log. I'm not quite sure what is the theme like but there are a lot of One Piece character inside which you can take photo non-stop @.@ We are glad that the crowd was not the bad and we still can easily squeeze ourselves in for photo opportunity.
The below photo was taken at Straw Hat Crew, Play Play Play (草帽海贼团). This is more of an interactive museum with a lot of props for you to take photo. You can see all the props are in tip-top condition despite their huge crowd over the days. Look at the photo on the bottom right corner, can you see the big hand?
You definitely don't want to miss this before you leave. These are located at the Europe Garden (欧洲花园). By the time we visited the garden the rain has stopped. Perfect weather to marvel at this wonderful scenery.
It is a beautiful garden. It is HUGE and filled with Lavender. Lovely!!!
Two ways to go back to Sun Moon Lake Tourist Centre:-
(1) Nantou Bus (南投客运) -> Sun Moon Lake (日月潭)
The last Nantou Bus to Sun Moon Lake Tourist Centre is at 5.30pm. So make sure you're at the bus stop on time because if you missed this, your only choice is Taxi. It is only TWD 26 per person. Do make sure you have enough small change before boarding.
(2) Taxi
There will be taxi driver who approach you offering you TWD 400 to the Tourist Centre. Since we're not rushing so we choose to wait for the bus. There are plenty of them so no worries if you want to stay a bit latter. The price are all stated on the carving board on top of the bus stop.
This ends our beautiful day at this beautiful place. Tomorrow we need to wake up early to catch a boat to visit the spots around the lake and we gonna depart to Taipei!
Stay tuned~
