What are the details of Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan?

The whole pool covers an area of 100 square kilometers and is 33 kilometers around the lake. The northern part is shaped like sun gear, and the southern part is shaped like a moon hook, hence the name. The water source of Sun Moon Lake comes from the upper reaches of turbid water stream, which originated in He Huan, so the source of Sun Moon Lake is He Huan. The most beautiful place of Sun Moon Lake is surrounded by mountains, and green water covers green mountains and green waters. This kind of scenery is related to the formation of the reservoir.

Unlike other reservoirs and lakes, Sun Moon Lake is formed by injecting a lot of water into the land, rather than blocking the water to form a pool. The whole water area is surrounded by mountains, and the scenery is layered. Seen from a distance, there are sights everywhere. In addition, it is located at a medium altitude of 760 meters, and it will always be like a splash-ink landscape painting.

Historical legends

First of all, it is said that the discovery of Sun Moon Lake is attributed to a magical deer. 300 years ago, 40 local villagers went hunting collectively, and a huge white deer fled northwest, so it followed. They chased for three days and nights, and the white deer disappeared into the forest. The mountain people searched in the mountains for three days and nights.

On the fourth day, they walked through the forest, only to see a school of Bicheng Lake, surrounded by thousands of peaks and valleys and green forests. On a sunny day, they quietly shone with sapphire blue light, just like a pure baby snuggling in its mother's arms and sleeping soundly. The villagers also found that there was a round island in the clear water with dense forest, which divided the Great Lake into two halves. The semicircle is like the sun, and its water is red; Half is like a new moon, and the water is clear.

So they called this big lake "Sun Moon Lake" and this small island "Zhuzi Island". They found that there are abundant water plants and dense forests here, which are suitable for farming and hunting, so they decided to move the whole society here. The leading tribal leader is the ancestor of Mao, the leader of Shao nationality today. Huan Tan area, known as Shuishalian in ancient times, belongs to Yuchi Township, Nantou County, and is the settlement of Shao people of Gaoshan nationality.
