About

The First Hot Spring of Sun Moon Lake

After the 921 earthquake in 1999, Fleur de Chine kick-started the road to reconstruction for continuing the development and operation of the Chinatrust Sun Moon Lake Hotel since 1975.

During the period of renovation, the idea of discovering hot springs appeared. Although hot springs in Sun Moon Lake had been unheard of before, the hotel actively engaged in geologic exploration and carried out drilling projects in several places.

Finally, Fleur de Chine discovered affluent hot springs at a depth of more than 1,000 meters at the entrance next to the big stone. From then on, the existence of the first hot spring of Sun Moon Lake was discovered.

Inspired by a Legend of Sun Moon Lake

Meet DiDi, Our Little Deer from Sun Moon Lake

A story passed down through generations around Sun Moon Lake.

Long ago, the Thao people lived near Alishan. While preparing for an ancestral ceremony, a group of warriors followed their chief into the mountains to hunt. After days without success, a great white deer suddenly appeared before them.

The warriors followed the deer across mountains and valleys until they arrived at the shore of a vast lake.

The white deer then leapt into the water and disappeared. As the warriors looked around, they discovered a beautiful landscape of shimmering waters surrounded by mountains, with abundant fish and shrimp beneath the surface—a place ideal for settling and building a new home.

The Thao believed that the white deer had been sent by their ancestral spirits to guide them to Shui Sha Lian, the area now known as Sun Moon Lake. From then on, they made this land their home.

Inspired by this local legend, Fleur de Chine created DiDi in the image of a deer. To us, DiDi is more than an adorable mascot—he is a little companion who carries the spirit and stories of Sun Moon Lake.

At five years old, DiDi is curious about everything around him. He loves exploring, discovering new things, and accompanying guests of all ages as they learn more about this land and uncover the stories hidden along the way.
