Introduction

Formosan Aborigional Culture Village has a rich display of Taiwan’s indigenous culture, and it holds singing and dance performances regularly. This is a great place for foreigners to learn about Taiwan’s indigenous culture. Popular entertaining facilities are also nearby, such as a ropeway that takes visitors to Sun Moon Lake.

Along a waterfront hiking trail, visitors can also go to Ita Thao, where they can appreciate the lake area’s unique Ita Thao culture and try indigenous food at Ita Thao Shopping District. They may also watch indigenous dance and singing at Zhulu Market, or take one or two DIY classes.

Wenwu Temple at the mid-hill of Sun Moon Lake worships Emperor Guansheng, Confucius, and Yue Fei. Every year, before major public exams take place, many test-takers come here to ask for blessing. The temple features a 150-meter slope with 366 steps. Each step represents one day in a year. You might want to find your birthday here and see which celebrity shares that day with you. In the back of the temple are “Huabiao” columns and a “Lingxing” gate, with Taiwan’s highest and most imposing religious carvings. They are truly impressive when observed closely.
