Sun Moon Lake
Located in Shuishe Village, Yuchi Township, Nantou County, it is the only natural lake in Taiwan Province Province, which is formed by accumulated water in the fault basin between Yushan and Alishan. The lake is 760 meters above sea level, with an area of about 9 square kilometers, an average water depth of 30 meters and a circumference of about 35 kilometers. Sun Moon Lake is surrounded by mountains, surrounded by mountains and waters. The lake is crystal clear, vast and picturesque. Whenever the sun sets and the new moon rises, the sunlight and the moon shadow set each other off, which is more elegant, quiet and poetic. There is an island in Sun Moon Lake, which looks like a bead floating on the water from a distance. Its name is Zhu Ziyu (Guanghua Island). Taking this island as the boundary, the northern half lake looks like a full moon and the southern half lake looks like a crescent moon, hence the name Sun Moon Lake.
Sun Moon Lake used to be called Shuishalian, Shuishe Great Lake, Longhu and Zhutan, and the locals also called Shuishe. In the famous lakes of the motherland, there is a unique subtropical beauty, and every storm contains the beauty of nature. The water in the pool is inexhaustible, the water is extremely clear, and the endless green waves are like mirrors, reflecting the green hills and tranquility. In the morning, there is often fog as thin as a veil in the mountains and pools. Coupled with the mountain wind, smoke hides Guanghua Island, and the lake is foggy.
The original area of Guanghua Island in the center of the lake is 8 hectares, and hydropower projects are built at the foothills of 193 1. 1934 after the completion of the first power station, the water level of the lake rose sharply, reducing Guanghua Island to 1 hectare. Guanghua Island is square with pebbles at the bottom. There are many cypresses on the island, which look like a green pearl from a distance. There are also several medicinal trees. The "Jade Island Shrine" on the island sits west to east, with two square doors in front and a "Jade Island Temple Monument", which records the construction date and process in detail.

Taipei
Taipei is located in the center of Taipei Basin and on the right bank of Danshui River. It is the political, economic, cultural and educational center of the province and the largest city in Taiwan Province Province. 1875 (the first year of Guangxu reign in Qing dynasty), Shen Baozhen, an imperial envoy, set up Taipei Mansion here to take charge of the administration of Taiwan Province Province, hence the name "Taipei". At present, the city is divided into 12 administrative regions, including Zhongzheng, Datong, Zhongshan, Songshan, Daan, Wanhua, Xinyi, Shilin, Beitou, Neihu, Nangang and Wenshan.
As early as four or five hundred years ago, it was still a swamp forest. After Zheng Chenggong expelled the Dutch colonists, he implemented the policy of "including soldiers in agriculture" and sent troops to open up wasteland in this area. 1708 (forty-seven years of Qing emperor Kangxi), Fujian immigrants established villages here, and 15 years later, the city street appeared. Originally known as Dajiajiao, Taipei was originally the activity area of Kaidagelan people of Pingpu nationality, also known as Mongga, Mangga, Munger and Wen Jia.
