Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County has some of the most beautiful scenery in Taiwan, and it will surely be a stop for Chinese tourists when, as anticipated, travel restrictions are eased. Therefore, businesses near the lake have been increasing capacity, raising the standard of service, preparing for the arrival of this new group of expectedly high rolling tourists.

Sun Moon Lake's famed scenery, five-star accomodations and local cuisine are attractions expected to meet with approval from Chinese tourists.

The Chinese tourists will want to try local sharpbelly fish, black tea, wild boar and shrimp, said Zeng Guo-ji, head of the local tourism office.

Enjoying the delicacies made from ingredients native to the Sun Moon Lake area, right on the lake front is one of the ultimate luxuries. But aside from food, there are also temples to be enjoyed in the area.

Businesses in Nantou County have been preparing for this next wave of tourists.

We've rebuilt the visitor center parking lot, added capacity so 30 more busses and 200 cars can park here, said Zeng. If we run out of rooms at hotels near the lake, there are also plenty of accomodations within an hour's drive.

Hoping to claim a share of the Chinese tourists' spending, both businesses and the tourism office have been preparing hard, and are now ready for business.
