Seeking to rebuild the area's tourism industry, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications established the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area in 2000. It then began the long reconstruction process, focusing on the creation of an alpine lake leisure industry and the preservation of the local Thao culture.
為重振觀光生機，2000 年交通部觀光局在此成立「日月潭國家風景區管理處」，以打造「高山湖泊」渡假休閒生活與保存「邵族文化」為兩大主軸，開始進行漫長的重建工作。
