Wulai Waterfall Introduction
Wulai Waterfall is the tallest waterfall in northern Taiwan. During the Japanese colonial period, it was listed as one of Taiwan's eight scenic spots and is also renowned as "Yunlai Waterfall." When rainfall is abundant, Wulai Waterfall showcases two streams cascading down the valley, displaying a majestic beauty. In spring, visitors can enjoy cherry blossoms blooming beside the waterfall, adorning the forested area. When visiting Wulai, it is a must to ride the only remaining tramway in Taiwan—Wulai Tram! Originally built for transporting timber, the Wulai Tram was repurposed for tourism in 1963. Visitors can absorb the forest's phytoncides through the open windows and enjoy stunning mountain views, with Wulai Waterfall located at the tram's terminal station, allowing close-up appreciation of the waterfall amidst mountains. After arriving at the tram waterfall station, guests can transfer to the Wulai Gondola, which slowly ascends, offering aerial views of Wulai and the waterfall. The gondola's end point is at Yunxian Amusement Park, where travelers can spend the night and participate in various activities such as nighttime frog watching and boat rides to admire the lake scenery. Don't forget to try local Indigenous snacks like fried creek fish and bamboo rice at 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, one can stroll through the old street, learn about Atayal culture, soak in hot springs, and ride the tram to enjoy the beautiful waterfall, embarking on a serene two-day, one-night trip to Wulai.
