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 Waterfall of Clouds." When rainfall is abundant, Wulai Waterfall forms two streams that cascade down from the valley, showcasing its magnificent beauty; in spring, visitors can admire the blooming pink cherry blossoms beside the waterfall, adding charm to the mountainous landscape. To fully experience Wulai, visitors should take the only surviving tramway in Taiwan—the Wulai Tram! The Wulai Tram was originally a railway tram for transporting timber, converted for tourism purposes in 1963. Travelers can enjoy the forest's phytoncides and stunning mountain views through the open windows and doors, while the Wulai Waterfall is located at the tram's final stop, allowing for close-up views of the waterfall amidst the tranquil atmosphere created by the surrounding mountains. After reaching the Tram Waterfall Station, visitors can transfer to the Wulai Gondola, which gently ascends, providing aerial views of Wulai and the entire waterfall. The gondola ends at Yunxian Paradise, where travelers can relax overnight and participate in various activities such as night-time frog watching tours and boating to enjoy the lake scenery. Don't forget to try the local indigenous snacks like fried creek fish and bamboo rice at Wulai Old Street. The indigenous people in Wulai are mainly of the Atayal tribe, and "Wulai" means "hot spring" in the Atayal language. In Wulai, visitors can wander through Wulai Old Street, learn about Atayal culture, soak in hot springs, and ride the tram to enjoy the beautiful waterfall scenery, making for a serene two-day, one-night trip in Wulai.
