Xiangshan Visitor Center

向山遊客中心

A board-formed concrete building designed by Japanese architect Kazuhiko Dan, with curved roofs and a corridor reaching out over the water. It is a popular photo spot at Sun Moon Lake.

The Xiangshan Visitor Center lies on the southwest shore of Sun Moon Lake. It opened in 2011 and was designed by Japanese architect Kazuhiko Dan. Two board-formed concrete buildings, with curved roofs and a corridor that extends toward the water, blend with the lake and mountain scenery and are among the most popular photo spots at Sun Moon Lake. The center has exhibitions, a café, and an observation deck, and entry is free. It is also the starting point of the Xiangshan Bike Trail. Cycling about 3 km north reaches Shueishe, with excellent lake views along the way. The lake loop bus stops here.
