Wulai Red River Valley Introduction
Wulai Red River Valley is located at the confluence of the Jialiaokeng and Nanshi Streams, featuring cool, clear, and unpolluted waters, where fish and shrimp swim freely. From the red Jialiaokeng Scenic Bridge, one can overlook various uniquely shaped large rocks, which contrast beautifully with the emerald stream, creating a spectacular valley landscape that has earned Red River Valley the nickname "Little Taroko." The Red River, located in Wulai District, was formerly known as "Jialiaokeng." Due to the passage of the Nanshi Stream, it forms a large bend, resulting in rock slopes inclined at 45 degrees due to cutting and compression. Additionally, a tributary eroding the area has created a vast riverbed with sloping rock layers, resembling stunning masterworks of nature that compel travelers to pause and admire. In addition to enjoying the magnificent landscape of Red River Valley, consider visiting the flat Jialiaokeng Trail, which was transformed from an old cart path used for transporting timber. The trail is 2.1 kilometers long, ending at the Wulai Scenic Bridge, with a gentle slope along the entire route. The path is shaded by greenery and boasts rich natural ecology, including butterfly species like the Common Mormon, Green Dragontail, and also features various flora such as the Bamboo Orchid, making it a perfect spot to relish the embrace of nature. Trail length: 2.1 kilometers Elevation: 145-155 meters Trail condition: Primitive mountain path Walking time: 1-1.5 hours
