Ita Thao Pier is the main access point for the Ita Thao area, known for its vibrant indigenous culture and scenic lakefront. The pier itself is quieter than Shuishe, providing a more laid-back experience. From here, visitors can explore the nearby Ita Thao Street, lined with shops selling aboriginal crafts, local snacks, and restaurants serving traditional dishes. The pier also offers stunning views of Sun Moon Lake, especially at sunset, and is a popular spot for photography.
Don't miss
- Wander down Ita Thao Street to sample indigenous specialties like wild boar sausage and millet wine.
- Rent a bike and cycle the lakeside path from Ita Thao Pier for scenic views.
- Watch the sunset over the lake from the pier's wooden deck.
