It was my first time cycling around Sun Moon Lake. The scenery along the way was so beautiful that I cried ☺️

#September2025

My first bike ride around Sun Moon Lake 🏞️✨☀️🌞
This was definitely the most physically demanding day of the year 🚴
The weather after the typhoon was amazing and absolutely stunning.
I rode for a total of five hours, taking photos.
I didn't wear any sunscreen and got an instant tan 🤣🤣🤣
I was immediately attacked by mosquitoes and had 20 lumps on my legs (?!)

Shuishe Dam ➡️Wooden Boardwalk ➡️Yongjie Bridge ➡️
Tongxin Bridge is super photogenic 💯 perfect for photoshoots 📸
➡️The Waterfront Wedding Plaza/Xiangshan Bald Cypress are stunning.
There are also heart-shaped flowers and art installations for stunning photos! ☺️🥰✌️
The heart-shaped flowers can be captured from different angles, creating completely different photos. 📸
➡️Xiangshan Visitor Center 🩷 Exposed concrete building 🩷
The Xiangshan Visitor Center was designed by renowned Japanese architect Norihiko Dan and her team. The building features two curved exposed concrete structures that blend seamlessly with the landscape of Sun Moon Lake, creating the image of "embracing Sun Moon Lake." ❗
