Day 20 - Disappointment when I don't expect it
Sun Moon Lake is such a disappointment. One after another, at first, I thought I could do a 3 ways tour around SML since the NT299 package I bought includes a cable car, ferry and bus rides. Not to mention, my two left feet could contribute into the 4th way. It turns out my main transportation is my undying personal part of my body, legs.
I first took the Ferry across Xuang Guang Si, which turns out overcrowded with mainland tourists and the temple itself is tiny and unsightly (First disappointment, actually the ferry ride, looking at the SML is the first) Then, I took the trail from Xuang guang Si, Xuang Zhuang Si and Ci En Pagoda. Second disappointment coming, who knows after completing the trail, the shuttle bus has a wide interval of 3 hours before the next bus. Instead of waiting, I decided to walk, after walking for 3 hours, it turns out to a dead end and I’ve to walk back and catch the bus instead.
Finally, when I manage to catch the bus to get to the cable car station, the last ride of the day is gone, forever, at 4pm sharp. I couldn't believe I miss the cable car ride. Now, anyone whom is interested to visit SML, let me know, I've a free cable ride coupon, it expire at the end of this year, just make sure you get there on time!
