Here, you find Mei-Chan's "Sun Moon Lake, the Legend of Thao."
The Thao people are Taiwanese aborigines that have lived at Sun
Moon Lake since probably the Qing dynasty. As the legend
goes, the ancestors of the Thao people originally lived in an island
in the middle of Sun Moon Lake. Then, they saw a deer and wanted
to eat it, so they chased it until they were at the side of Sun Moon
Lake. Then, the deer ran into the water, leaving the Thao tribe by
themselves and they could only wait and slept at Sun Moon Lake.
One of the elders dreamed of a fairy in a white cloak. He said to them
"I am the deer that led you here. This place is your promised land.
Please don't leave, because generations will come."




If there were only a Sun Moon Lake full of onions, I'd be in paradise.
