Xuanguang Pier is not only a popular attraction at Sun Moon Lake but also renowned throughout Taiwan for its famous “Grandma Tea Eggs.” These delectable eggs are slow-cooked in a blend of Sun Moon Lake black tea and mushroom essence, resulting in a rich aroma and a uniquely flavorful taste. The tradition was started by Grandma Zou Jinpen, who passed away in 2022, but her family continues to carry on her legacy, ensuring that the beloved tea eggs continue to delight visitors.
The walk from Cien Pagoda to Xuanguang Pier offers more than just stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. It immerses visitors in the rich history, vibrant culture, and traditional flavors of the region, making it a comprehensive experience that engages nature, heritage, and the senses.
