Tung Hou River Introduction
Wulai District is renowned for its hot springs and mountain cherry blossoms. It is also the northernmost indigenous mountain area in Taiwan, predominantly inhabited by the Atayal tribe. The name "Wulai" derives from the Atayal language, meaning "be careful with the hot water," which is "Kiluh-ulay." The Atayal indigenous people of Wulai District were referred to as "Quchir Fan" during the Qing dynasty and Japanese rule.
