Description - What to expect
Start your Thousand Island Lake tour early in the afternoon, and enjoy a scenic drive along the mountain road, to Shiding, a rural district of New Taipei City. Located in the south of the Shiding District., Thousand Island Lake, also known as Qiandao Lake in Chinese, literally means a lake with thousands of islands. Shared the same name as the famous attraction in Zhejiang Province of Mainland China, the catchment area of Feitsui Reservoir surrounded by hills creates a similar scenery.The natural terrain and climate make the surrounding area of Feitsui Reservoir ideal farmland for tea growing, including the well-known Wanshan Pouchong and Dong Fang Mei Ren. The noted tea plantation Bagua Tea Garden is located in this area too, and from the top of the hill, the neatly planted rows of tea look just like the symbols of Eight Trigrams.
Continue your Thousand Island Lake tour with a 15-min drive to Pinglin District, where the famous Wanshan Pouchong tea is grown. Your guide and the tea expert will explain the culture, history, and how to properly brew Taiwanese tea during your visit to Pinglin Tea Museum or Pinglin Old Street where you will also have the chance to taste various tea samples.
Your Thousand Island Lake tour ends with return transport to Taipei.
