日月潭作為臺灣寶島唯一的自然湖泊,位于南投縣。日月潭被拉魯小島分成兩半,東邊圓圓的像太陽,西邊狀如新月。日月潭被尊為臺灣之心,不僅因為其地理位置,同時也是因為它是五大水電站之家,就像向人體器官輸送血液一樣日月潭不停地向臺灣島隔地方輸送電力。
日月潭
Sun Moon Lake
As the only natural lake on the island of Taiwan, Sun Moon Lake is situated in Nantou County. It is divided by the tiny island of Lalu; the eastern part of the lake is round like the sun and the western side is shaped like a crescent moon. The beautiful alpine lake is revered as the heart of Taiwan, not only because of its central geographic location, but also for its role as home to five major hydropower plants which provide electricity to the rest of the island- just like the blood sent from a person's heart to their organs.
