Sun Moon Lake Ropeway is the first private-owned ropeway system in Taiwan. It runs between Ita Thao community and Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village with a total length of 1,877 meters. The ropeway route travels over two Buji mountains with altitudes of 996 meters and 1044 meters.

The establishment of the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway does not only bring convenience to the locals but also offers visitors an opportunity to enjoy a panoramic view of the magnificent Sun Moon Lake when the cable cars reach the peak of Mt. Buji. Before the opening of the Sun Moon Lake Gondola, the travel time from Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village to Sun Moon Lake is about 40 minutes, and is now shortened to 8 minutes for a one-way gondola ride to Sun Moon Lake!

The cable cars come in red, yellow and blue colors, which represent the image of sun, moon and lake respectively. With the ropeway cabins colored in red, yellow, and blue, Sun Moon Lake is lighted up by the colorful cabins.
