청양산맥‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 호수

After a short climb (depending on your starting point), you'll reach the pagoda. You can also climb the entire tower for a perfect panoramic view.

The small temple offers a great view of the lake.

The picture reminds me of a lake in Bavaria if there weren't a temple along the way and a warning about cobras

Easy to reach by bus from Hualien

Great view over the lake

Fantastic view over the entire lake

Ci'en Pagoda is located on Sha Ba Lan Mountain near Sun Moon Lake. It was built by Chiang Kai-Shek in memory of his mother in 1971. The Pagoda is 46 meters in height and has become the famous landmark of Sun Moon Lake. Surrounding the tower are beautiful plants and trees and there are stone tables and chairs for visitors to take a rest. From the top of Ci'en Pagoda you can overlook Lalu Island and Sun Moon Lake and the views are breathtaking! You can cycle to the parking lot but the last 900m have to be done via easy stairs.

The small detour from the lakeside path to this viewing platform is worth it: the path there is already very beautiful and you pass two great lookouts.
