A rare treat for tourists! We were wrapping up our first day of activities at the famous landmark in Taiwan, the beautiful Sun Moon Lake. As we lounge over the balcony overlooking the ferry pier, it began to rain and there was a strong gust of wind. I noticed a faint funnel column began to appear and realized it was a waterspout forming right in front of me! I didn’t waste time looking for my camera and just fire away with my phone to take photos and a short video. This rare sight lasted only for about two minutes. What a lucky encounter when you’re at the right place and the right time!
