Nantao/ Cing Jing / Sun Moon Lake
Nantao is the county located in the middle of Taiwan right below Taichung. It is one of the best scenic attractions in Taiwan. One of the "must go" places in Taiwan is definitely Nantao Cing Jing. It is a nice place for all seasons: flowers in spring, not so hot during summer, leaves changing colors in fall and people go ski in winter. It is because of its attractiveness for all seasons, enables Cing Jing to be better equipped than any other tourist points in terms of its software and hardware.
And also for this reason, you are more able to enjoy in this relaxed yet cozy environment. The drive from Taichung to Cing Jing should be about 1 hour, up to the mountain for a breadth of fresh air.
Sun Moon Lake is very close to the city of Puli in Nantao and it's about 1 hour away from Cing Jing. The development of this scenic point is long-known, the surrounding is better developed and the attractions are also more commercially organized. There are cable cars, cycling tracks, big galleries and museum. The vicinity is also more crowded than Cing Jing and higher quality hotels are generally expensive or "un"affordable.

The Route - Go in April!We took the car at Taoyuan station for the trip to Nantou Cing Jing. To drive from Taoyuan to Cing Jing had taken us 3 hours. It took us 1 1/2 hour from Taoyuan to Taichung. You may want to choose to get the car in Highspeed Taichung station. It can save up to 1/2 hour to 1 hour to reach Cing Jing, so you won't be too tired for driving too long. If you are renting a big car with 6-7 individuals, it is of course cheaper than taking the highspeed.
