Wulai Waterfall Introduction
Wulai Waterfall is the tallest waterfall in northern Taiwan. During the Japanese colonial period, it was listed as one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Taiwan and is also known as "The Cascades of Clouds." During periods of abundant rainfall, Wulai Waterfall forms two torrents, cascading majestically down the valley. In spring, visitors can enjoy the blooming pink cherry blossoms beside the waterfall, adding beauty to the forest. When visiting Wulai, it's a must to take the only remaining tramway railway in Taiwan—the Wulai Tram! The Wulai Tram was originally a railway tram used for transporting timber, and it was converted for tourism use in 1963. Travelers can absorb the forest's phytoncide through the open windows and doors while taking in the mountain scenery. The Wulai Waterfall is located at the end of the tram line, allowing visitors to enjoy the waterfall up close and experience the relaxing atmosphere surrounded by mountains and waterfalls. After arriving at the Tram Waterfall Station, visitors can transfer to the Wulai Cable Car, which slowly ascends, offering a bird's-eye view of Wulai and the entire waterfall. The cable car's terminal is at Yunshan Paradise, where travelers can rest for a night and participate in various activities such as night frog watching and boating while enjoying the lake scenery. Don't forget to try the fried stream fish and bamboo rice, which are indigenous delicacies from the Wulai Old Street. The majority of Wulai's indigenous people are from the Atayal tribe, and "Wulai" means "hot spring" in the Atayal language. In Wulai, you can wander the Wulai Old Street, learn about Atayal culture, soak in hot springs to warm your body, and enjoy the waterfall scenery via the tram, making it a perfect two-day, one-night trip to the serene Wulai.
