Sun Moon Lake - Yutern Bicycle Trail Introduction
Starting from Xuanguang Temple, the bike path stretches approximately 4 kilometers through the Huan Tan No. 1 Tunnel to the Ming Tan Water Outlet. This path, designed specifically for cyclists, winds along the southern shore of Yuetan, showcasing rich and varied ecosystems and forest landscapes. Along the way, you can enjoy a southern view of the Toushe Basin and a northern view of the Qinglong Mountain Range, making it an excellent choice for cyclists seeking freedom and leisure. In particular, the distant view of the Toushe Basin from this vantage point, with fields and houses arranged like a chessboard, almost evokes the picturesque scenes described by Tao Yuanming in his writings about a utopian paradise.
