Wulai Waterfall Introduction
Wulai Waterfall is the tallest waterfall in Northern Taiwan, and during the Japanese occupation, it was listed as one of Taiwan's Eight Scenic Spots, earning the nickname "Cloud Coming Waterfall." When rainfall is plentiful, Wulai Waterfall flows down as two torrents, showcasing its grand beauty; in spring, visitors can also enjoy the delicate blooming cherry blossoms that adorn the mountains beside the waterfall. When you arrive in Wulai, riding the only remaining trolley railway in Taiwan—the Wulai Trolley—is a must! The Wulai Trolley, originally a railroad trolley for transporting timber, was repurposed for tourism in 1963, allowing passengers to absorb the forest's phytoncides and take in the mountainous scenery through open windows. The Wulai Waterfall is located at the end of the trolley line, enabling close-up views of the waterfall and the leisurely atmosphere surrounded by mountains and water. After arriving at the Trolley Waterfall Station, visitors can transfer to the Wulai Gondola, which steadily ascends, offering a bird's-eye view of Wulai and the complete view of the waterfall. The gondola ends at Yunxian Paradise, where travelers can rest for a night, participating in activities such as night frog watching and boat rides to enjoy the lake scenery. Don’t forget to try the delicious deep-fried creek fish and bamboo rice at Wulai Old Street, known for its indigenous flavor snacks, primarily from the Atayal tribe. In the Atayal language, "Wulai" means "hot spring." Visitors can wander through Wulai Old Street, learn about Atayal culture, soak in hot springs, and enjoy the picturesque views of the waterfall, making for a serene two-day, one-night journey in Wulai.
