Third day: Sun Moon lake and Formosan aboriginal culture village

Today I woke up around 9 AM and afer 1 hour my hostfamily brought me to Sun Moon lake which is in Nantou county-not so far away from our place. The sun was shining all the way to Sun Moon lake and after 1 hour drive we reached this one of the major tourist attraction objects in Taiwan.

We bought the tickets and we took a lift on one of the Sun Moon lake's tourist yachts and from that was a beautiful scenery to thid lake and the mountains nearby. We had a stopover in the opposite side of the lake where we saw a beautiful temple and after that we tried the Sun moon lake's delicacy: an egg which was boiled in a tea which was very tasty. My hostsister told that such eggs you can eat in all over Taiwan but Sun Moon lake's eggs are the most popular. After a little dinner we went by the yacht to the next stopover where we went trough a kind of tropical jungle to the cable car ropeway. The view from the cable car was stunning and at the end of ropeway we entered in Formosas aboriginal culture village. We were so lucky that after entering in this village we managed to see a performance by the aboriginals and it was my first time to see the aboriginals.

After the perforance we saw the prototypes of the houses and lifestyle and the artifacts of the ancient aboriginals and it was great that the current aboriginals also did the handicfrafts in front of our eyes so here is also not only an exhibition but also a live performance and working habits by these aboriginals. After that we went to an amusent park where I felt like in a childhood because we tried several attractions but actually in one I was a bit scared and it was obviously seen a picture which was taken by that attraction's automatic camera. Then we went back with the cable car and the tourist yacht and then we were heading back home. But at the way back we attented the most beautiful and the biggest temple which I have seen so far during my stay in Taiwan. In conclusion I can say that this trip was really great and I appreciated a time which I spent with my nice and kind hostfamily and I'm looking forward to going in the next trips in Taiwan. :)
