Ita Thao Lakeside Trail: Enjoy 2.4 km of Leisure
Introduce
There are many trails around Sun Moon Lake, including the 2.4 km Ita Thao Lakeside Trail, which connects wharfs, business circles, ropeway stations, lakeside, pavilions, and water walks. Every spring, the entire trail is pink with cherry blossoms. Together with the green scenery of the lake, they create a beautiful and romantic view.
When visiting Sun Moon Lake, take a motor boat and visit Ita Thao Wharf. After getting off the boat, follow the signs passing through Ita Thao Old Street, a place filled with features of aborigine people, and enter the forest trail next to the Chunghwa Telecom Hotel (about 5 minutes of walk) to reach Sun Moon Lake Ropeway Station. Here, tourists can choose to take the ropeway to look down at magnificent Sun Moon Lake, or head directly for Sun Moon Lake Youth Activity Center without taking the ropeway, enjoy the phytoncide of the forest, or enjoy an ecological tour by visiting the Butterfly Garden.
For tourists who want to experience the entire Ita Thao Lakeside Trail, they can head for the Nine Frog Acrobats statue from Sun Moon Lake Ropeway Station (opening hours are between 6 AM and 6 PM). This trail is 1.4 km in length and has a pedestrian/bicycle separation design. There is shade along the way, so visitors will not feel hot, and can enjoy the blowing breeze from the lake when visiting there at noon. What great enjoyment! If you visit there in autumn, the entire place becomes poetic with the reflection of the leaves turning either red or yellow occasionally and accidentally discovering branches floating on the lake water. Two pavilions are built along the trail. Rest a while and enjoy some drinks and snacks while enjoying the lake view if you are tired.
