What To Expect

Meet your tour guide and driver at the hotel lobby, and then head off to Shiding District in New Taipei City. Just sit back and relax, enjoy the 90-min drive to the idyllic mountain town.

Your tour starts with a visit to the magnificent Thousand Island Lake, which shares the same name with the famous scenic spot in Hangzhou City, China. The lake is located in the south of Shiding, it was once an inhabited village before it was flooded to create the catchment area of Feitsui Reservoir. As the water rose, it submerged part of the mountains and resulted in a lake with countless islets scattered here and there. The stunning landscape resembles the Thousand Island Lake in China, hence the name.
