Sun Moon Lake Cable Car Station Introduction
The Sun Moon Lake Ropeway connects the Ita Thao area of Sun Moon Lake and the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village. Riding the cable car offers a breathtaking view of the Michelin three-star-rated lake scenery, surrounded by mountains. This cable car system, designed and manufactured by the Austrian company Doppelmayr, has a total length of 1,877 meters, extending from the lakeside near Ita Thao to the observation building of the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village. It features 86 cabins colored red, yellow, blue, and green, representing the sun (日), moon (月), lake (潭), and forest (綠野) respectively. Among them, the green cabin has a transparent crystal floor, perfect for thrill-seeking visitors who want to experience the sensation of being 142 meters above ground with a slight tingle underfoot. During the ride, passengers can enjoy panoramic views of the famous Sun Moon Lake, the scenic Yuchi Township and Puli Highland Basin, and get a distant glimpse of the miraculous Sun Moon Lake Water Diversion Project’s entrance at Dazhu Lake. The journey takes you over the smiling valley in a 10-minute aerial tour, showcasing the stunning landscapes, geographical features, and hydrology of Sun Moon Lake, as well as the various seasonal weather patterns. Upon reaching the height of 1,000 meters at Mt. Bugui, the cable car crosses a valley that is 786 meters wide, drawing a smiling arc between the T7 and T8 pillars, providing an unobstructed view that is ideal for overlooking the lake’s scenery.
