People left their wishes on the paper strings hanging around the dome.



Having a quiet moment on Good Friday inside the Paper Dome.
This Paper Dome was built in Japan as a temporary Catholic Church after the big earthquake. Ten years after the earthquake it was transported to Puli as a reminder of the 921 earthquake.

This is called "President's Fish"--suppose to be President Chiang's favorite dish.




Enjoying some aboriginal specialties





This little boat was used by President Chiang Kai-Shek when he came to Sun Moon Lake years ago.





A close-up look at Sun Moon Lake.


Teachers Hostel


A copy cat hotel. This hotel is as expensive as the real one in Dubai, at least $1,000USD a night. MOR said he would rather spend the money on a week-long cruise.


Interesting building


Cute!



Canoe on display


Beautiful!


Visitors Center--Sun Moon Lake


Outside of the train station--they also have a Believe It or Not!
