Nantou

Nantou County is a mountainous region set in beautiful surroundings and home to many diverse cultures. Found right in the heart of Taiwan, it’s one of the quieter, more peaceful parts of the island. Its farming-based economy produces some remarkable attractions, including great wines and teas, but inevitably means that it doesn’t have the same lively tempo as Taipei or Kaohsiung.

One thing Nantou has plenty of is nature and natural attractions. At the heart of this is Sun Moon Lake, which is ringed with aboriginal cultural villages, gardens, temples, pagodas and more. For those who enjoy their outdoor activities, there are some fantastic hiking trails to explore and enjoy around the lake.
