It is a beautiful alpine lake, divided by the tiny Taiwan Lalu Island ; the eastern part of the lake is round like the sun and the western side is shaped like a crescent moon, hence the name “sun” Moon Lake
Its beauty is created by the combination of mountain and water scenery, and its 760-meter elevation helps give the impression of a Chinese landscape painting with mist-laden water and clearly defined levels of mountains. The constant changes of mists and moods on the lake make it impossible to comprehend in a single look.

Chinese Ghost Festival - Taipei Ciyou Mazhu Temple
"G’day! The attached photo was taken at Taipei Ciyou Mazhu Temple near to my house. Just as the West has Halloween for ghosts and ghouls, so also does Taiwan have a holiday to fete the departed spirits of the underworld. Ghost Festival, a popular occasion celebrated throughout China on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. Historically, families offer scarifies of the newly harvested grain to departed ancestors on this day, which also coincides with the Buddhist Ullambana (Deliverance) Festival and the Taoist Ghost Festival. Since each of these traditions in some way honors the spirits of the departed the seventh lunar month has come to known as Ghost Month, celebrated as a time when the “Good Brethren”, ghosts from the underworld, come back to earth to feast on the victuals offered by the living. Over time the Ullambana Festival and Ghost Festival have melded together to become the present day – Chung Yuan Putu or Mid-Origin Passage to Universal Salvation."
