Taiwan Day 2: TaoYuan to Sun Moon Lake

As usual, I'll try to plan our trip to be "back pack"where we can go places on our own without hiring tour guide. Initially hubby doesn't really agree with my idea, but somehow he give in and let me plan the trip. Yeah~ :)

How to go Sun Moon Lake from Taoyuan/ Taipei.

We took taxi from our hotel in Zhong Li to Taoyuan HSR, cost NTD250.
The HSR tickets were booked earlier through online, as there will be up to 30% discount for early birds, where tickets can start to be reserved 28 days from your travel date.

On your travel date, collect the ticket from the counter.
Good Morning Taoyuan~
We bought MOS breakfast set for 2. Greenbag was given :)
NTD236 spent.
Hash brown. Nice.
Seafood rice burger. Yelks~
Beef burger. Not to my liking, as it was too dry.
Inside HSR.
Arriving at Taichung HSR, look for the bus station at 1st Floor, 5th Exit.

Purchase ticket to Sun Moon Lake. There are also package available which is more worthy.
Check out the package and schedule at nantoubus website.
Inside the bus. The journey took 1.5 hours.
The bus will stop at Shuishe Pier. Then we took the 1 day unlimited ferry ride to Ita Thao, where our hotel is located.
The ferry will make its first stop at Syuangang Pier before stopping at Ita Thao. After Ita Thao, the ferry will the go back to Shuishe.

Because we arrive early, we are not allowed to check in to our room. Check in was strictly only after 3pm. So we drop our luggage at the lobby and start our Sun Moon Lake visit.
