We reached水社码头 at around 3.00pm and waited for our boat to玄奘寺码头.We were only having 1 hour 30 minutes and unable to visit all the attraction places around玄奘寺码头&伊达邵码头. We only have time to buy herbal egg (茶叶蛋), food and took some photos. Besides that, weather wasn’t good on that day. There is so much fog around and we couldn’t have a clear picture of the sun moon lake.
