Since it was neither sunrise nor sunset so the lake looks so so to me only!
Wen Wu Temple is just nearby the lake , a shrine dedicated to Confucius., Guang Kong and Yue Faye.
Stalls at Sun Moon Lake selling local products:
Next stop is the free peacock Garden...just a few pitiful peacocks nothing much to see at all. Luckily it is free entrance or else I don't think anybody will go.
Here a bottom up peacock:

Special dinner tonight at WC restaurant, Taichung:.
we had heard about this over TV and newspaper but experiencing it is completely different feeling...shocked, fun and interesting. One of my friends say she had goose pimples all over thinking of her curry ( yellowish and mushy) served in toilet bowl.
Our tour guide kept everything very secret without telling us where we were going to have our dinner. I being the first to go to the toilet saw a golden toilet bowl...my feeling was...WOW....
then it came to my mind that this must be the toilet restaurant since the toilet was at the entrance while the restaurant was after the actual toilet...feng shui???
My yellowish and mushy curry:
Dessert:
Nice collection of toilet bowls:
Very last stop after dinner is the Jing Ming 1st street 精明一街: at Taichung, where nice plants are displayed on the street walks without being disturbed even at night. If in Malaysia, all the plants will be gone the very next morning!!
JingMing 1st Street is among Taichung's best-known attractions with local and foreign visitors because of to its unique European-style cafe street-like ambiance. Created in the early 1990s as part of a private residential complex, the 60-meter-long pedestrian-only street includes sidewalk cafes and teahouses, which has led many foreign residents to label it as "tea street". There are a number of boutiques and shops selling medium-to-high-end clothing, jewelry, beauty/health products, fashion accessories, handicrafts and art. Shops and restaurants continue along the roads on both ends of the street. But things are expensive here so can only shop with eyes but not with wallets.
Hotel for the night: DeBao Hotel, Taichung, clean and superb breakfast.
