Fleur de Chine Hotel

The First Hot Spring of Sun Moon Lake

History of Fleur De Chine

The first hotel built on this site in 1975 was called the Chinatrust Sun Moon Lake Hotel. In 1999 a major earthquake (locally known as“921) struck Taiwan, leaving severe damage on the entire island. Through rounds of renovations and redesigns, the hotel rose from the ashes as a five-star resort and was rebranded as Fleur de Chine in 2008. During this period of renovation, hotel builders discovered the first-ever natural hot spring in the area. The quality of the hot spring was soon certified by the Taiwanese government as“sodium bicarbonate”hot spring, which is colorless, odorless, drinkable and great for health and skin. It is nicknamed “the hot spring for beauty.” You are welcome to enjoy the hot spring either in the marble bathtub of your room, the public bath house or in Water World’s hot spring pool.

The Origin of Fleur de Chine's Mascot - White Deer

Legend of Thao

The origin of Fleur de Chine’s White Deer mascot is derived from an old legend called the “Deer-chasing to Shuishalian”from the Taiwanese aboriginal tribe“Ita Thaw.” It was said that the warriors from the Ita Thaw tribe of Mt. Ali were chasing after their chief in preparation for a worship ceremony for ancestral spirits. However, the hunting did not go well, and they were not able to find anything for days. When they were getting ready to camp for the last night, a huge white deer suddenly appeared. The warriors chased it all the way to a lake, but the deer just leaped into the lake and vanished into the void. Suddenly, they found that they were surrounded by giant mountains and shining reflections from the lake. Innumerable fish and shrimp were waiting for them. They believed that the white deer was sent by their ancestral spirits to guide them to discover this paradise. Thereafter the Ita Thaw people settled down by the Shuishalian (today called Sun Moon Lake) and lived happily ever after. The habitation of the Ita Thaw tribe today is just 12 minutes’drive around the lake from our hotel.
