From Taoyuan International Airport, we rode on the bus to High Speed Rail ('HSR') station at Taoyuan to change our next transportation to HSR which costed us NT540 per seat to reach Taichung in an approximately 45 minutes, if not wrong. The seats are comfortable and clean. Once reached Taichung HSR terminal, we took the shuttle bus to our hotel located at Feng Chia University a.k.a. Feng Chia Nightmarket.
The real headache was coming to us once we got off at Feng Chia University bus stop. See, we were in the middle of huge Feng Chia Nightmarket. It was crowded with people, motorbikes, cars and their cute pets (all kinds of breed dogs)!! We couldn't find Tomato Hotel (the direction given by the staff was confusing) so we just walked up and down the street, carrying the heavy luggages. After half an hour searching and calling, we FINALLY found Tomato Hotel! It was such a relief to see the hotel because I was damn tired from walking up and down and stood in the middle of the road where all the people and motorbikes passing by kept looking at us!
At night, we just walked around their famous and biggest nightmarket - Feng Chia. Next morning, we checked out Tomato Hotel and we rode on bus again to Sun Moon Lake from Taichung HSR station. After approximately one and a half hour ride on bus, we arrived at Sun Moon Lake. Pretty lake scenery! We seek help from the tourist information on the famous attractions and how to get there. The staffs were friendly and helpful. Information given also accurate and advised us to rent a bike for a day to save time and money, instead of taking bus!
Night at Sun Moon Lake was quiet with very few entertainment. Only the nearby area at Sun Moon Lake's pier was gathered with tourists and the tourists were entertained by the local natives' performance (singing and dancing) at the pier. Their local natives' culture fascinated me. A bit similar to our Sarawak's local natives.
