Sun-Moon Lake
From Wiki China org cn
A most renowned scenic attraction among the Eight Sights in Taiwan, the Sun-Moon Lake matches with West Lake in Hangzhou. 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.
