#discoverchina Standing at Xuanguang Temple, you’re greeted with one of the most breathtaking views in Taiwan. From its peaceful hillside perch, the entire expanse of Sun Moon Lake unfolds below — shimmering waters framed by lush, rolling mountains and a sky that seems to stretch forever. The stillness of the lake, often kissed by soft morning mist, gives the whole scene a dreamlike calm that instantly quiets the mind. As boats drift gently across the water and the wind rustles through the trees, it’s easy to lose track of time. The view from this small but sacred temple isn’t just a photo opportunity — it’s an experience of pure serenity.

#discoverchina Nestled on the edge of Taiwan’s breathtaking Sun Moon Lake, Xuanguang Temple (玄光寺) is a peaceful retreat that offers more than just spiritual vibes. Though small, the temple carries a rich history and stunning panoramic views of the lake. I arrived via a short boat ride to Xuanguang Pier, and the walk up to the temple was serene, surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle sounds of nature. The scent of incense and the calm breeze added to the peaceful atmosphere. Inside, there’s a memorial to the revered monk Xuanzang, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch the echoing sounds of chanting that seem to float across the water. Tip: Don’t miss the famous tea egg stall nearby – yes, those legendary Sun Moon Lake tea eggs are worth the hype!
