Since the opening of National Freeway the 6th, the transportation from Taichung and Puli or the Sun Moon Lake is more convenient. Puli, a beautiful mountain city located in central Taiwan, is neither trains passed, nor construction of airport, it is very difficult to reach without driving by yourself. Thanks to National Freeway between Taichung and Puli, we can reach Puli easier. Puli is so aboundant in tourism resources, such as the ChungTai Monastery, Sun Moon Lake, Puli Winery, Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village, etc, that I can make a list without google it. However, for the outsiders, I think the most important thing is to know how to enter to the beautiful mountain city, here to share my google map about the transportation from taichung to Puli and Sun Moon Lake:
Here are the location of Bus companies.
Taichung Bus (cooperated with Nantou Bus) and CH Bus have the most frequent Buses shuttle between Taichung and Puli.
Renyou Bus is the most convenient, and it takes you directly to Yuchih, Sun Moon Lake and Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village. It would be the first choice for the foreigner traveler. However, there are fewer bues shuttle compared with the above bus companies. For Renyou Bus time table, please click here.
Another choice is the Puli Bus. Though it called Bus, it actually is a taxi service compane. It provied car pool/ shared taxi service. one people 150 NTD for one way, a little higher than the bus fee (125 NTD) but faster than the bus. If you still have getting into mountain city problem, you're always welcome to contact me.
