Three must-see attractions at Sun Moon Lake in Nantou! Xuanguang Temple, Xuanzang Temple, and Grandma's Tea Eggs

#September Good Places 2025 This time I came to Nantou Sun Moon Lake. The 850-meter Qinglongshan Trail is surrounded by mountains and rivers. In addition to feeling the religious atmosphere, you can also eat authentic snacks while walking, so that the journey is healing from body to mind! Attraction Inventory Guide Recommendations: 1️⃣ Sun Moon Lake Xuanguang Temple Located at 388 Zhongzheng Road, Yuchi Township, Nantou County, it is the first stop of the Qinglongshan Trail. The temple opens at 5 am and closes at 9 pm. Whether it is breathing fresh air under the morning light or quietly worshiping in the evening, the feeling has its own flavor. There is a feeling of "wonderland threshold" on the entrance stairs. Walking up to the far side of Sun Moon Lake, the mood is seriously relaxed! At the same time, you can see many believers kneeling and worshiping in the temple. The atmosphere is solemn and calm. 2️⃣ Sun Moon Lake Grandma Tea Egg Right next to Xuanguang Temple, at the location of Xuanguang Temple in Riyuetan, Yuchi Township, Nantou County, mushroom tea eggs are definitely a photo-taking delicacy on the pilgrimage trail. No matter where you go, there is a faint tea scent. Grandma's tea eggs are really super popular, and I have felt the patience of the team for many years. Hot tea leaf egg and mushroom stew, sit down and take a break halfway through the walk, with the oxygen-rich landscape scenery, happiness is overflowing ~ 3️⃣ Xuanzang Temple in Sun Moon Lake From Xuanguang Temple, continue along the Qinglongshan Trail.

Xuanzang Temple is open from 07:30 to 17:00 (No. 389, Zhongzheng Road, Yuchi Township, Nantou County). Tips for the itinerary: 1.
