My family’s summer vacations were always spent at Sun Moon Lake, so after many decades I was curious to see how the area had developed.
The village of Shuishe, where Sun Moon Inn is located, is a great example of the uniquely Taiwanese flair for modernizing without changing the essential local flavor of the place. People there are extremely friendly and accommodating, and this was true many times over of Hana, Elaine, and Nisa, the three capable ladies who run the inn.
The inn is modern and clean, using streamlined design featuring lots of natural elements. The room with balcony we had was huge, with high ceilings, two king beds, and very nice bathroom and shower. Breakfast included with the room was delicious on both days.
The inn is a short walk to the bike rental shop and bike trail; the harbor for boat tours/rides, and the village main street offers many eating options.
Sun Moon Lake is beautiful and worth the visit. Sun Moon Inn is commodious and friendly and cannot be recommended more highly.
