A mist lifts off the lake as the boat slips away from the pier—Sun Moon Lake stretches like an inland sea, glass broken by fishing skiffs and the wake of a small tour launch. The morning light paints Wenwu Temple’s red eaves; mountains lean in, as if to listen. You feel the lake pulling you into its bordered calm, the boat’s engine speaking in soft, steady beats.
