From Wiki China org cn
The Sun-Moon Lake (日月潭) is the most renowned scenic attraction among the Eight Sights in Taiwan. The lake matches with West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The only natural lake on the island, it is 740 m above sea level and covering an area of 7.73 sq. km, with a perimeter of 35 km and an average depth of 40 m.
The Sun-Moon Lake is divided into two parts by Zhuzai Island, with the part in the north shaped like the sun, and the part in the south like a crescent. The two lakes were originally separate, and were later linked by a dam constructed in the lower reaches to push up the water level. As a result, the two lakes became one.
