Family Adventures at Sun Moon Lake
Start in Taipei, the lively capital, where your personal guide will tailor each day to your pace and interests. Explore the world-renowned National Palace Museum, stroll through the historic Longshan Temple, and enjoy traditional oolong tea at a local teahouse. Ride to the top of Taipei 101 for sweeping city views, browse local crafts, and explore the creative spaces of Songshan Cultural Park. In the evening, taste your way through the bustling Shilin Night Market.
Next, take a scenic high-speed train to Sun Moon Lake, a peaceful escape surrounded by forested mountains. Stay at a luxury lakeside resort and enjoy private touring, including a lake cruise, temple visits, and stops at a tea plantation or handmade paper workshop. Families can also ride the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway or visit the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village, a fun and educational cultural theme park.
Return to Taipei for a final night of relaxation, shopping, or a special performance – whether it’s traditional puppet theater, Chinese opera, or a Cloud Gate dance show.
