Located just around the corner of Sun Moon Lake, this was our first Theme Park when my kids first came to Taiwan. It is not a place just for kids to play but a very informative back ground on the natives of this island.

Located just east of Sun Moon Lake, we came up to this area when we saw a camping signboard. We were surprise to find this tranquil area. The owner of the campsite briefly told us that this area was previously used for farming irrigation and now the government  had taken back some of the area and rebuild it. He also informed us that we can view firefly around the lake but we did not get the chance as it was raining for last 2 days. Around the lake, there are few Chalets but they have stop the construction due to grey water being dump into the reservoir.

The first time we headed up to Hehuan Shan we were in luck. It started to snow as we drove from Taroko National Park. Being a tropical lander, never did me and the kids seen snow. It was an extreme delight for all of us, the kids enjoyed so much in the snow.
