Wulai Waterfall Introduction
Wulai Waterfall is the tallest waterfall in Northern Taiwan and was listed as one of the Eight Sights of Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period, also known by the beautiful name "Yunlai Falls." During heavy rainfall, the Wulai Waterfall forms two cascades that plunge down from the valley, showcasing its magnificent beauty. In spring, visitors can enjoy the blooming pink cherry blossoms beside the waterfall, adorning the mountain forest. To fully enjoy Wulai, taking the only remaining tram railway in Taiwan, the Wulai Tram, is a must! The Wulai Tram was originally a railway used for transporting timber and was converted for tourism use in 1963. Passengers can absorb the phytoncides of the forest through the open windows and doors and appreciate the mountain scenery. The Wulai Waterfall is located at the end of the tram line, allowing visitors to admire it up close and experience the leisurely atmosphere surrounded by mountains and waterfalls. After arriving at the tram's waterfall station, visitors can transfer to the Wulai Gondola, which slowly ascends, providing an aerial view of Wulai and a complete view of the waterfall. The gondola ends at Yunxian Paradise, where guests can rest overnight, participate in night frog watching tours, enjoy boating and lakeside views, and many other activities. Don't forget to try local indigenous snacks like fried creek fish and bamboo rice on Wulai Old Street. The indigenous people in Wulai are mainly from the Atayal tribe, and "Wulai" means "hot spring" in the Atayal language. In Wulai, you can stroll through the old street, learn about Atayal culture, soak in hot springs to warm up, and take the tram to enjoy the beautiful waterfall scenery, making for a serene two-day, one-night trip to Wulai.
