Things to do in Nantou, Nantou: The Best Outdoor Activities

June 21, 2021 Joeann Galban

Taking in the breathtaking beauty of Nantou's Sun Moon Lake is truly an ethereal experience. The turquoise basin is shaped like the sun on the east side, a crescent moon on the west, and it reads like a rippling celestial journey. After a day of hiking the seven miles of trails in the lake's surrounding mountains, hop a cable car and whiz through the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village or take a soothing dip in one of the area's many hot springs. Local farms grow juicy drupe fruits, the perfect refreshment on a steamy day.

Great way to see the sights around Sun Moon Lake is to hire a bicycle and cycle around or use an electric bike. Beside getting a healthy dose of exercise, you are rewarded with beautiful scenery.

Hehuanshan North Peak Trail

Mt. Hehuan North Peak has an altitude of 3,422m, making it the tallest among the Hehuanshan group. From the trailhead, the hike to the peak and back takes 4-5 hours. The North Peak is Hehuanshan’s premier place for the viewing the Red-hairy Rhododendron; once past the trailhead you’ll find yourself amidst a sea of flowers, in a spectacular Red-hairy Rhododendron world.

Visited there during weekday Took us 1-hour motorcycle ride fm guest house to the starting point During our morning ride in 8am+, scenery was stunning. Arrived starting point at 9am Due to height attitude, we hiked slower in the beginning. Took us 1.5 hour to finish the first 2km and reached north peak. Trail to north peak was not too difficult - easy to medium range. The challenge started on the trail between north peak and west peak. We were hiking in a very moist, steep and long down hill valley. When time reached 1130 am and we was about 1.4 km away from the west peak, fog was getting heavier and heavier. We decided to return without attaining the west peak for safety reason. Highly recommended trail. Will do it again next time - start the trail at 6 am as the mountain started to get foggy by noon (in early sep). Allow 7-8 hours of hiking and no replenishment along the trail - bring enough water is a key.

Cycling on a rented bike is a must do activity in Sun Moon Lake and is very popular. Sure beats walking as the lake is quite big. We booked our bikes online and cycled from Shuishe to Xiangshan and around. We met many fellow cyclists. On one of the boardwalks, we need to get down and push our bikes as cycling was prohibited. Weather was pleasant but sunny. Enjoyed this activity and got some exercise too. This bikeway is quite scenic.
