I had the chance to visit Taiwan a couple of weeks before typhoon Soudelor, including tea farms in Nantou County, Sun-Moon Lake and the Taroko National Park. Sun-Moon Lake is a beautiful lake that is now a major tourist attraction in Taiwan, with many hotels, boat rides, trails, temples and pagodas, a cable car, a wonderful bike path, and an aboriginal cultural village.
