Wulai Red River Valley Introduction
Wulai Red River Valley is located at the confluence of the Jiajiao Stream and the Nanshi Stream. The water is cool, clear, and pollution-free, allowing fish and shrimp to swim freely. From the red Jiajiao Scenic Bridge, you can overlook various uniquely shaped towering rocks, contrasting beautifully with the emerald stream. This magnificent valley landscape has earned Red River Valley the nickname "Little Taroko." The Red River, located in Wulai District, was formerly known as "Jiajiao." Due to the flow of the Nanshi Stream passing through this area, it forms a large bend. Under the influence of cutting and squeezing, the rocks along the stream slope at a 45-degree angle, combined with a tributary's erosion, creating a vast tilted riverbed of rock layers, resembling magnificent paintings crafted by nature. Travelers often find themselves compelled to stop and admire the view. In addition to enjoying the spectacular landscape of Red River Valley, visitors can take a detour to the flat Jiajiao Trail. The Jiajiao Trail, formerly a cart path used for transporting timber, has been rebuilt and is 2.1 kilometers long, ending at the Wulai Scenic Bridge. The entire trail is gently sloped, shaded by trees on both sides, and boasts a rich natural ecosystem with butterfly species, tree frogs, and other flora, making it perfect for leisurely strolling and embracing nature. Trail length: 2.1 kilometers Altitude: 145-155 meters Surface condition: Original mountain path Walking time: 1-1.5 hours
