hope the rain will chase away the haze.. Found our hotel 日月潭飯店鴻賓休閒渡假旅棧 Apollo Resort Hotel.. Ready my outer jacket and thermal legging liao..Checked in early, took the boat and theme park tics as check in starts from 3pm..so gona put luggage in hotel first.. heard frm reception tt boat might nt be able to operate due to e heavy haze.. which means now we have no choice but to go 水社遊客中心 ShuiShe Visitor Centre there and waited for bus to 伊達邵码头 ItaShao Harbour..
