Sun Moon Lake is located in the center of Taiwan and is the island's largest lake. It is a beautiful alpine lake, divided by the Lalu Island; the eastern of the lake is round like the sun and the western of the lake is shaped like a cresent moon, hence the name.

The Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village was founded in 1986 by its president, Jung-i Chang. Mr.Chang’s vision was to establish a place to both preserve and teach about Taiwan’s aboriginal heritage while, at the same time, provide a spacious venue for people to spend and enjoy their leisure time. His family's history has long been intertwined with those of Taiwan's native aborigine cultures. It was his own ancestor, Da-ching Chang, who negotiated with local tribal representatives to open to cultivation the area around modern Feng-Yuan for Chinese settlers.

We reached Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village at about 2pm and missed quite a number of performances. Nonetheless, I managed to take quite a number of photos which I like very much. 50% of the photos were taken at the European Palace Garden. The European Garden area is a well-manicured feast for the senses. Sprawling over 150 acres, the gardens invite visitors to enjoy a profusion of flowers and plants.
