Shuishe Pier is a scenic spot located near the Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County, Taiwan. This area has a rich cultural tapestry, with influences from the indigenous Thao people, Han Chinese settlers, and the Japanese during their occupation of Taiwan. The food culture here is a reflection of this diverse history. Traditional Thao cuisine often features wild vegetables, rice, and fish from the lake. During the Japanese colonial period, influences such as soba noodles, tempura, and matcha made their way into local culinary practices. Today, Shuishe Pier boasts a variety of Taiwanese snacks, integrating local ingredients like tea leaves from nearby plantations and fresh produce from the fertile surrounding hills.
