and hello to the very serene and pretty Sun Moon Lake (SML)!
When we arrived at SML, we left our luggages at the hotel, and immediately went for a cruise around the beautiful lake! We boarded the cruise at Shuishe, the pier which is just 5 mins walk from our hotel.. It is one of 3 stops of the cruise..
Check out Adric's expression in this photo, innocence mixed with a tiny bit of arrogance.. Love it!
We alighted at Ita Thao pier, and walked around the area.. the highlight of the place was this lookout area where we could have a beautiful view of the lake..
We hung out there for awhile, enjoying the view as well as some rose apples that we bought from a roadside fruit stall. Adric loved the rose apples so much that he cried like its the end of the world when he finished the last piece and we told him that there was no more.. He looked something like this but with much more tears..

So we had to walk all the way back to the fruit stall to buy done more of those magical rose apples that immediately stopped Adric's tears..
Then we boarded the cruise ship again, and our next stop was Xuanguang temple.. all i remember of that place is the long long flight of stairs, that led us to this beautiful view!
After the cruise, we headed back to our hotel. We stayed at this really beautifully and comfy little hotel which was very conveniently located.. there was a whole street of yummy food stalls just outside the hotel! Unfortunately, we were too busy eating that we forgot to take any photos of the food street! Hee..
Anyway, back to the hotel (which i cannot recall the name at the moment.. hee).. the owners of the hotel (a young couple) were very warm and hospitable... when we checked in, they asked us what time we would like to have our breakfast so they could prepare warm breakfast for us! and they did! freshly made breakfast! Yummy! Also, the breakfast area had a view of this..
Adric too absorbed with the view to look at the camera..
After SML, we took the high speed train back to Taipei for a transit before proceeding to Hualien. We stayed at the Palai de Chine which was the most luxurious hotel of our trip.. the best part was the big bath tub, which Adric absolutely loved!
