Xiangshan Visitor Center. 【Zen-inspired design integrated with the earth】More than just a building, it's a monumental landscape art piece nestled by Sun Moon Lake. 【Zen-inspired design integrated with the earth】More than just a building, it's a monumental landscape art piece nestled by Sun Moon Lake. Designed by renowned Japanese architect Norihiko Dan, the Xiangshan Visitor Center eschews elaborate decorations, presenting the entire structure with the raw texture of "exposed concrete." Its smooth, sharp curved lines gently embrace Sun Moon Lake like two hands, and the roof extends along the grassy slope to the ground, seamlessly merging the architecture with the natural landscape. The most breathtaking feature is the infinity pool, reflecting the lake and mountain scenery to create a stunning Zen-like vista of water and sky. Every corner offers a composition photographers dream of. 【The World's Most Beautiful Cycling Experience】Arriving at Xiangshan, cycling is the best way to get close to the lake. Starting from the visitor center, you'll first pass through an area lined with golden cypress trees, then explore the Tongxin Bridge and Yongjie Bridge, known for their white, flowing designs. On the bridges, admire the elegant reflections dancing with the lake. Feel the coolness and openness of Shuishe Dam as you ride against the wind and lakeside scenery. Just as your eyes are still immersed in the healing beauty you just experienced, you'll find yourself cycling on what CNN has rated as the world's most beautiful water-based cycling path, feeling as free and natural as a fish on the lake, extending all the way to the bustling Shuishe Pier. Friendly Service Facilities: Accessible hand-pedaled bicycles available for rent (2 units), Muslim prayer room.
