Sun Moon Lake, Nantou

Since we got started on the road pretty early (5:30 am!) we arrived early (around 7:30am), and waited a bit for the parking lot and then the ticketing of the cable cars to start.

We got our tickets and our number (200+!), then we had to wait for the cable cars to start.

Lookie here, my aunt’s chihuahua is a little sheep :) It was cold and the doggies need to dress for the weather too.

So we walked, rather were walked by my aunt and cousins’ doggies.

Stitch had to ride the cable car too!

You get a pretty good view of the lake from the cable car.

More cable cars. If you look closely, they are actually One Piece themed. The cable car we rode was red and had Chopper on the side.

A cute red owl.

And a red ladybug.

We walked from the cable cars station to a pier to take a ferry across the lake.

The prettiest doggie (my cousin’s daughter) on the ferry. Although she’s probably seasick too. We all got kind of seasick on the ferry.

I didn’t know that lakes can have waves. But there were strong waves.

Afterwards, we walked around and explored some of the shops around the area.

That’s about it of Sun Moon Lake. Oh and those are car ears on my hoodie.

We left Nantou around 2:40 pm, and we all slept like the dead in the car. And after many many hours… We arrived in Tainan around 7:30pm (yes, that is how traffic the highways are during Chinese New Year season).

We had 酸菜白肉鍋 for dinner (very very yummy) and then my aunt and uncle drop us back to Kaoshiung.

We slept early, because the next day, we would be going back to Taipei.

We got to Taipei (actually Banciao) around 4:30 pm, which is pretty early, so we window shopped a bit at Global Mall and Mega City in Banciao.

We had soft shell tacos and nachos around 5 pm and for our dinner, we had the waffles and yummiest chocolate cake from Aunt Stella’s.

And that’s about it of my Chinese New Year’s break.
