Expanded Information:

.

Sun Moon Lake has the most complex hydroelectric power system in Taiwan, which is mainly managed and utilized by the Taiwan Power Company's Daguan Power Plant and Mingtan Power Plant. The source of water for Sun Moon Lake comes from the upstream of the Turbid Water Creek and the Liqi Creek, a tributary of the Turbid Water Creek. Water from the Turbid Water Creek is diverted by the Wujie Dam and water from the Liqi Creek by the Liqi Dam, which is injected into Sun Moon Lake through two diversion tunnels, namely, the Wujie Tunnel and the New Wujie Tunnel.

In January 2000, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) established the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area (NSA), which, in addition to the original Sun Moon Lake Specific Area, extends to Yuchi Township in the north, Shuishe Dashan in the east, Jiji Dashan in the west, and ShuiLi Snake Kiln in the south.

In March 2016, it concluded the Sister Lake relationship with Lake Hamana in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is the convergence of the upper tributaries of Turbid Water Creek.

Before the concept of ecological conservation matured, many religious groups bought many kinds of exotic fish and came to Sun Moon Lake for release activities, not realizing that exotic species are very easy to harm the ecology of native species, and the most serious one is the glassfish. In the early years, local fishermen salvaged mainly kiluat (kiluat), but now glassfish account for more than 70 percent of the fish stock.

The glassfish has almost no natural enemies in Sun Moon Lake, and its staple food is the eggs of the kiluat, so the reproduction of the kiluat appears to be in great jeopardy. Fishermen have tried to fry the glassfish to eat, because the whole body is full of bones and spines, the fish meat is very little, only suitable for aquarium ornamental fish. Experts are now working on ways to reduce the population of glassfish.
