We took the high speed train(高鐵) from Taipei(台北) to Taichung(台中). The ride was very enjoyable and smooth. It takes only 50 minutes to travel the distance. If we remembered correctly, it took about half a day 40 years ago to travel the same distance. 



From Taichung, we took a bus ride to Sun Moon Lake(日月潭). It was Fei’s first time to visit Sun Moon Lake. We were able to ride the local bus to hit all attraction spots. We were doing fine until the last leg, we mistakenly walked for more than 30 minutes to get to the next attraction spot. With the long walk plus delayed photo shoots, we missed the bus by a couple of minutes. In order to make sure that we can be back to Taichung to catch the scheduled high speed train, we had to charter a boat ride to bring us back to the bus station. When we got back to Taipei, it was only 9PM. One thing definitely impressed us is the transportation. High speed train, subway, bus and taxi make Taiwan the most accessible place for visit.
