Wulai Suspension Bridge Introduction
Located next to the Wulai New Taipei Bus Station, the Wulai Suspension Bridge spans the Nanshi River and measures approximately 105 meters in length. The three-story high bridge piers are decorated with traditional Atayal tribe totems. Unlike typical scenic suspension bridges, visitors must ascend to the third floor before standing on the bridge to take in the stunning views of the Wulai Valley. To the north, visitors can see the red tourist arch bridge, while to the south, they can marvel at the confluence of the Nanshi River and the Tonghou River, as well as the unique scenery of the open-air hot springs, all while enjoying the magnificent riverside landscape of the Nanshi River. During the Japanese occupation era, the Japanese constructed the Wulai Nanshi Suspension Bridge downstream from the Wulai Hydroelectric Plant to supply water for power generation. This original bridge is no longer in existence, replaced by the scenic suspension bridge completed in December 2010, which allows visitors to hike and appreciate the breathtaking valley scenery. After walking across the Wulai Suspension Bridge, it takes about a 6-minute walk to reach Wulai Old Street. In addition to exploring the street and tasting local delicacies, don’t miss the spectacular light sculptures at the Lansheng Bridge during the nighttime! Built in 2019, the Lansheng Bridge spans the Nanshi River, connecting Wulai Old Street and the hot spring area. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 18:30 to 20:30 (hourly), brilliant light sculptures are activated, transforming the bridge’s green hue during the day into vibrant and colorful lights at night, making it a great spot for nighttime sightseeing in Wulai. During the day, visitors can stand on the "transparent glass observation platforms" on either side of the bridge, 9 meters above the ground, offering a remarkable view of the flowing waters of the Nanshi River below.
