Wulai Suspension Bridge Introduction
The Wulai Suspension Bridge, located next to the Wulai XinDian Bus Station, spans the Nanshi Stream and is approximately 105 meters long. The three-story pillars of the bridge are decorated with traditional Atayal tribal totems. Unlike typical scenic suspension bridges, visitors must walk to the third floor to enjoy the stunning views of the Wulai Valley, where to the north, they can see the red tourist arch bridge, and to the south, the unique scenery of the confluence of Nanshi Stream and Tonghou Stream, along with open-air hot springs, all providing a magnificent view of the Nanshi Riverbank landscape. During the Japanese occupation period, the Japanese built the Wulai Nanshi Suspension Bridge downstream of the Wulai Power Plant to supply water for the generator and construct a dam; this original bridge no longer exists. It has been replaced by the scenic suspension bridge completed in December 2010, which provides hiking opportunities for tourists to appreciate the spectacular valley landscapes. After crossing the Wulai Suspension Bridge, it takes about a 6-minute walk to Wulai Old Street. In addition to exploring the old street and tasting local delicacies, don’t miss the light sculpture of the Lansheng Bridge at night! Built in 2019, the Lansheng Bridge spans the Nanshi Stream, connecting Wulai Old Street and the Hot Springs Street. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 18:30 to 20:30 (every hour), the spectacular light sculptures are activated, transforming the daytime green bridge into a vibrant display of colors, making it a popular spot for enjoying night views in Wulai. During the day, visitors can also stand on either side of the bridge on the "transparent glass observation platform," set 9 meters high, to marvel at the flowing waters of the Nanshi Stream below, which is quite breathtaking.
