The east side of the lake resembles a sun while the west side resembles a moon. It is very hazy today whether that is the heat or pollution, who knows. Lilly suggests the pollution could well come from China.
I wanted to go there but had no time, i remember there being a public area and there's private rooms too i think. It's the main or most visited hot spring i guess in 台東特產 Taiwan since it's close to Taipei...there are others ones around the country in the mountains but not too sure. As others suggested, stay in Taipei City is better.

The main metropolis of the sprawling Taitung County, Taitung City faces the Pacific Ocean and cradles the region’s historical museums, arts centres, lakes and parks. With charming islands just offshore and botanical gardens nearby, there are plenty of ways to connect with culture and nature. We are relatively close to the Yushan National Park, which we missed from the other side of the island but we decide the extra 150 kms to travel there and back was not on today. We have travelled through many scenic areas and are a bit sorry to miss this one, next time perhaps, particularly if we are fit enough to do some hiking. In 1662, Koxinga, a loyalist of the Ming dynasty who had lost control of mainland China in 1644, defeated the Dutch and established a base of operations on the island. His forces were defeated by the Qing dynasty in 1683.

Alternatively, take a relaxing stroll or cycle down to the shore and enjoy the fresh ocean breeze. Today we have a free day in Taichung and drive around visiting sights in the city, none of which were outstanding. Taiwan has got so much going for it and so much going against it. The elephant in the room casts a long shadow over what is a thriving democracy and its warm and hospitable people. That shadow of course extends over more than Taiwan and even more than over the Pacific but it is Hong Kong that is currently resisting suppression and Taiwan is possibly the next of the dominoes. The choice of the people of both countries is obvious, but that matters not to the elephant.

The weather was really humid but everything else was excellent. Taipei 101 Observation Deck – only visit on a clear day. Taxis in Taipei, are they able to handle large suitcases when travelling to and from Taoyuan airport or do special arrangements need to be made. Oh no, we get to Taipei in the arvo, and I was thinking we go to Yangmingshan the next morning. I was thinking of just getting there by public transport.. I actually bookmarked Yehliu but didn’t realise how close it was until now.
We fought over parking with several other drivers, eventually finding a space and after quite a long walk, found the fort. Originally built in 1634 as Fort Zeelandia by the conquering Dutch, the Qing Army later demolished it and instead built the Eternal Golden Castle. This was gradually abandoned until the Japanese occupation when it was rebuilt as Anping Fort.

Located on the northern edge of Taiwan, just a quick trip from Taipei, Yangmingshan National Park offers a dose of nature for city-dwellers and those touring the bustling capital. Visit Yangmingshan to hike through its volcanic scenery and rolling hills, soak in its hot springs, and, in the spring, see the cherry blossoms in bloom. The east, however, offers a window into old Formosa. Located in Taitung City, CHIILIH HOTEL CORAL MUSEUM is a perfect starting point from which to explore Taitung. The hotel offers a high standard of service and amenities to suit the individual needs of all travelers. The hotel offers various recreational opportunities.
Maccas, KFC, Burger king, MOS burger, you can all get these around that region. A day trip to Sun Moon Lake is highly recommended. I visited from Taichung but there are trips from Taipei. Tainan is a cool and delicious city, Kaohsiung is hot but slightly more boring but nice enough.

That said, petty crimes like pickpocketing can occur, and it's still worth being aware and taking precautions, especially after dark. Note that typhoon season is from May to November and can cause disruptions. We got plenty of time to see this magnificent town and take in a lot of its cultural touchstones, even with the morning free to explore Taipei.
Taitung Showtime Mall is the biggest traditional shopping mall with indoor stalls and internationally recognizable brands. A large and complete and prehistoric settlement, Beinan Cultural Park is an archaeological site. It covers some 10,000 m2 and has over 1,600 burial sites. It was discovered in 1980 when approximately 20,000 pieces of pottery jade and stone tools were unearthed. Government officials took note of this and proceeded to construct and open the National Museum of Prehistory in 2002 to preserve the rare artifacts.
