We cycled from Taipei to Wulai (warning: it is VERY hilly). We were looking for the waterfalls at 加九寮 (jia jiu liao stream). It looks like a manmade dam, but it was a good waterfall to swim in nonetheless. Plus there was a swing at the top of the waterfall as well! During the summertime, this is a very popular... More

Beautiful place with an interesting culture and history and really impressive scenery, spend a whole day here so you can get away from the touristy areas. A quieter 2km trek starting from the tourist bridge is mentioned in the tourist info - I could not find the entrance to it, just a very cross dog which bit me.

Charming hill-top town of bridges, waterfalls, bamboo forests, street food and hot springs and they are all good. Choose a spa business that has a view of the river and take a trek up to see the waterfalls. The aboriginal food is also well-worth sampling, try the bamboo rice, jungle vegetables (especially the spring onions that are only found in... More

Famous for its hot springs and beatiful waterfalls. You can also take a bath or jump froma three into the river. Its a fun place to go with your friends. Get some snacks, beverages and thats all! you are ready for a wonderful day.

Visited Wulai yesterday, Sunday 7th April. We got to the Xindian MRT at about 9 am and joined the queue of about 5 people. Before too long, the queue was more that 20 persons long and Increasing. When we boarded the 9.15 am bus, it was a tight squeeze. Even so, many were not able to board. The fare was... More

This is one of my favourite places in Taiwan. The waterfall is beautiful and there is a gondola which will take you to the top of the mountain above the waterfall to a small amusement park. The amusement park is not an amusement park in the Western sense, meaning there aren't any rides in the park but instead near the... More

Compared to its northern counterpart, Jiufen, I like Wulai better. The old street, the river and the falls which is also a must do in a visit to Wulai. The people are friendly and tourists don't arrive by the busloads here.The crowd is lesser compared to Jiufen and that is Jiufen's main turn-off. You can actually go to the river... More

I went to Wulai on my recent trip to Taipei. Its was a disappointment. First, the mini train is under renovation. Second, we need to pay NT200 for a cab to reach the cable car which is rather costly compare to the NT50 train ride. Third, the ride up the cable car last for the most 3 mins and the... More

The river flows casually along Wulai and you can magically make for yourself a personal hot spring by pushing some larger stones into a circle to pool up some water on the bank. In moments the geothermal earth will heat up your pool, sometimes even to a boil if you're not careful. The trails nearby take you on a journey... More
