Travel in Taiwan 2017/09/10
Wulai is a small indigenous settlement that can be quickly reached from central Taipei. For many decades it has been a popular day-trip destination for local residents and international visitors looking for some respite from the capital’s urban jungle. This is a great area to experience indigenous culture, do some hot-spring bathing, and take in refreshing mountain scenery. Wulai still has a host of attractions that make a trip worthwhile.
1. Wulai Old Street (02:30)
Bus No. 849 drops you off close to the northern end of Wulai Old Street, a narrow street lined with eateries and shops selling myriad indigenous specialties and souvenirs. Among the enticing foods you can try here are millet mochi, stir-fried mountain vegetables, bamboo-tube rice, millet and mountain litsea ice cream, wild-boar sausages, range chicken, millet wine, lamb chop soup, almond tea, and much more. If you are looking for souvenirs there is no shortage of indigenous-theme items, such as woven hats, purses, bags, and vests, glass bead bracelets, and also many packaged food and drink products, including mochi cakes and millet wine.
2. Atayal Culture (03:20)
The inhabitants of Wulai are mainly from the Atayal tribe, the third-largest indigenous group in Taiwan. If – apart from eating the yummy indigenous food offerings – you want to learn more about this tribe while in Wulai, visit the Wulai Atayal Museum, located close to the northern end of Wulai Old Street (No. 12, Wulai Street). The museum provides you with plenty of info in Chinese and English about the origins of the Atayal and their traditional ways of life, including sections about hunting, weaving, facial tattooing, and so on. At the Waterfall Area you also have the chance to witness song-and-dance performances by tribe members.
3. Hot-Spring Bathing (20:20)
Wulai is well known for its hot springs. The clear and odorless Wulai spring waters, about 80 degrees centigrade at their source, are rich in alkaline sodium bicarbonate and believed to have beneficial properties for your skin. While the free riverside open-air hot-spring pools, popular with experienced Taiwan soakers, were dismantled earlier this year, there is no lack of brick-and-mortar hot-spring establishments in and around the village. You can choose from upscale hot-spring resorts such as the Pause Landis Wulai, elegantly designed with private and public hot-spring facilities and offering fine-cuisine dining, to simple hot-spring hotels providing rooms with hot-spring bathtubs for less than NT$100/hour.
4. Waterfall Area (08:00)
The scene most closely associated with Wulai is Wulai Waterfall. To get there, cross the bridge at the southern end of Wulai Old Street, turn left, and follow the road along the river, which is closed to vehicles. The walk to the Waterfall Area takes about 20 minutes. The waterfall is an impressive 80 meters high, and is in full view from observation spots on the opposite (road) side of the river it feeds (Nanshi River).
5. Cable Car (08:42)
The cable cars you see crossing the river and ascending to a spot above the waterfall have been part of the Wulai scenery for 50 years now. To get to the base station, take the stairs adjacent to the Chief’s Cultural Village. The cable car (adult return ticket: NT$220) not only takes you above the waterfall, but also to the Yun Hsien Resort (yun-hsien.com.tw), a small recreation area – like the cable car built in the 1960s – where you can go for a walk among dense forest, row a boat on a small lake, and engage in other pleasantries. Included in these is the Yun Hsien Hotel, should you want to stay a night at the resort.
Getting there:
Getting to Wulai is simple and convenient. Take the MRT Songshan-Xindian Line to its southern terminal, Xindian. Then take bus No. 849 to the last stop, Wulai, which is at the car park near Wulai Old Street.

Trip to Wulai (Ulay, 烏來) in Taiwan
Trip to Wulai (Ulay, 烏來), a small tourist town in Taipei County, Taiwan, on Monday, Feb 7, 2011.
Wulai is famous for its hot springs, sightseeing, and aboriginal culture. Other activities include hiking, camping, swimming, fishing, and birdwatching. In spring, visitors come see cherry (sakura) trees bloom. The name of the town is derived from the Atayal ( 泰雅) aboriginal tribe phrase kirofu ulai or qilux ulay that means hot and poisonous. Wulai District (烏來區) is a rural district in southern New Taipei City in north Taiwan. It sits near the border with Taipei City. The Atayal aboriginal tribesmen of Wulai were once the head hunters of Taiwan.
According to locals, bathing in the odorless hot springs can cure skin diseases like ringworm, eczema, and herpes.
Main attractions:
Wulai hot springs - visitors often go to the numerous hot spring hotels, public baths, as well as the Wulai River.
Wulai Atayal Museum
Waterfalls - Several waterfalls exist in the Wulai gorge, but the largest is Wulai Falls (烏來瀑布).
Wulai Gondola or cable car - the gondola takes visitors to the top of Wulai Falls, where it accesses a hotel, conference center, and the Yunxian playground.
Yunxian playground (雲仙樂園) - a nature park with gardens, paddle boats, natural trails, and natural obstacle courses, accessible by the Gondola
Atayal aboriginal culture - many shops in Wulai specialize in aboriginal foods, arts, crafts, and clothing.
Wulai Scenic Train - this is a converted mine train built during the Japanese era that takes visitors from downtown Wulai to the attractions at the base of Wulai Falls.

Lalashan
The route up Lalashan (Mt. Lala), County Highway 116, starts just past (east of) the village of Lower Baling, and ends far up on the mountain at the Lalashan Forest Reserve, on the way passing Upper Baling, an Atayal village. In the Upper Baling area you’ll travel along a sharp ridge, with deep mountain valleys visible on both sides in spots. “lala” and “baling” are both Atayal terms; the first means “beautiful,” the second “giant trees.”
On the way up, stop at the attractive stone-facade Lalashan Visitor Center, not far above Lower Baling, where there is text and video information (with English) on the area’s flora, fauna, and geography. Also visit the small nature center just before the forest reserve, which offers information on the reserve’s trails, biology, and geology. An entirely different world awaits in the reserve, where a marked boardwalk trail meanders 3.7km up and down the mountainside past 22 sacred trees. In this magical ancient-cypress cluster all are least 500 years young; the most senior sprouted 2,800 years ago, and the tallest soars 55m high. [Note: At time of writing the boardwalk was being rebuilt, with the main part of the area closed; phone (03) 391-2761 for enquiries about the latest status of the reserve.]
Taiwan’s “Sacred Trees”
During the Japanese era, Taiwan’s natural resources were systematically mapped and exploited. Narrow-gauge railways were built up into the rugged mountains in many places for extraction of its high-grade wood resources, and today a number remain – notably the Alishan Forest Railway – all popular tourist attractions. Fortunately, in numerous remote locations small stands of great trees escaped the axe, and these have also become popular tourist attractions, invariably either called shenmu (“sacred/divine trees”) or jumu (“giant trees”).
HeFong Villa is a B&B perched high on the Lalashan ridge above Upper Baling, Lalashan’s largest settlement, with an unobstructed view over the mountains to the west. The sunsets here are spectacular. The villa’s exterior reminds me of the big, rambling clapboard-siding farmhouses back in my home area, eastern North America. The high-ceilinged, spacious, simply furnished rooms are done in wood, chalet-style. Each has a small private fenced-in porch out front with a picnic table that has a barbecue grill fitted in the center; all needed equipment/utensils are supplied. Across the courtyard garden, stretched out along a slope with the owner-couple’s honey-peach orchard below, is a lovely wood-built viewing deck with picnic tables – a grand choice for enjoying your complimentary breakfast and a fresh-brewed coffee (NT$100) from the cute coffee/juice bar. (Rooms start at NT$2,500; Chinese breakfast included; bring your own towels.)

I had the opportunity to visit Taiwan for a week. Marking the second country in Asia I've been to. I've been living in Japan for a year now and will be posting more adventure vlogs about that soon. This first part of my Taiwan series is located in Wulai, a quaint valley village outside of Taipei about 40 minutes. We collaborated with some local businesses:

So go to the end of the old street past the wild boar sausage stand, you'll see a bridge crossing the river on the right, go over that and take a left, you'll see a mural of deer on the wall to the right and the Fish Spa is across from that - the sign is small but the downstairs sells icecream/ice treats.
Things I ate were all tasty, but as you can see some, harder to chew than others.

From Travel in Taiwan (11/12, 2016) article:
Author: Rick Charette
Jiaobanshan & Little Wulai
Highway 7, which stretches about 130km, begins at history-rich Daxi town in the west, follows the Dahan River to its upper reaches, and jumps the Xueshan (Snow Mountain) Range, ending by the coast on Yilan County’s Lanyang Plain.
Our first stop was Jiaobanshan Park. Clear signage (with English) along Highway 7 points you down County Highway 117, to “Central Fuxing.” The park entrance is on the right of the main road, down a short alley, just as you enter Fuxing, a cluster of a few-score buildings. The quiet, pretty landscaped grounds (free entry) take up a wide plateau right behind the settlement, high over the exaggeratedly serpentine Dahan River, twisting like a giant dragon forcing a mountain egress. The central attraction in the park is a villa – the Jiaobanshan Resort – once used by Chiang Kai-shek, now a museum filled with photos of events past.
Visit the underground command-post bunker complex – the War Preparedness Tunnel – inside the plateau beneath the villa, dug out should the Generalissimo come under attack from Mao Zedong’s red forces, and take the well-maintained plateau-escape trail down to a graceful suspension bridge on the river, where back when a speedboat always stood ready to whisk CKS downriver to the Daxi command base should the main highway be cut off.
Other plateau-top buildings house displays on the region’s logging and camphor-production days. Before early 1900s synthetic-camphor production began, Taiwan was a key natural-camphor producer. Beyond trading, first contact between Han Chinese and island mountain tribes often came with Han camphor-extraction incursions.
Further along Highway 7, a left turn takes you uphill along County Highway 115 to the Little Wulai Scenic Area. The turnoff is just before the 7 jumps the Dahan to its south (left bank) side. A short way up a tributary, the scenic area is centered on a picturesquely rugged gorge and the loud, hurtling waterfall that exclaims its end. From the parking lot (NT$100 per vehicle), a gorge-side walkway takes you a few hundred meters to the glass-bottom Little Wulai Skywalk (NT$50 adults; closed noon-1pm), boldly extended directly over the 50m-high falls. This is a hanging-valley waterfall; the cliffs directly below you are an active fault line.
For more exercise than that offered along the short above-falls pathway, the steep, 750m Fall Base walk is highly recommended. Clearly signposted in English, it starts not far from the skywalk and takes you to a scenic spot from where you can see the waterfall in all its glory from below.
The Northern Cross-Island Highway
This is one of three stunningly scenic highways that snake their way east-west over Taiwan’s thick north-south mountain spine. The names of the other two begin with “Central” and “Southern,” respectively. All were major projects undertaken by the Nationalist government, worried about the Communist China threat, to facilitate cross-island military movement, especially should round-island coastal-area movement be cut off. This route initially was just a narrow garrison road hacked out by the Japanese during their 1895-1945 suzerainty, augmenting Atayal-tribe control. The Nationalist government widened, smoothed, and paved it 1963~1966.

The works of Atayal artist Tiemu Yasha's are currently on display at the Wulai Atayal Museum . All 33 of his paintings portray the Atayal people's life in the communities in Tiemu style. What's unique about his works is that there are elements of impressionism, yet they also border on realism in a form of cultural documentation. Most indigenous people call him Atayal's Picasso. Let's take a look at some of his works.
