      Introduction

      Anchor point
      Wulai has been renowned for its hot springs since ancient times. Whenever tourists mention mountain hot springs, Wulai is always the first priority. "Wulai", in the Atayal language means boiling-hot spring water; therefore, the Wulai hot spring occupies a most important part in the life of the Atayal tribe. Wulai hot springs are mainly distributed along the areas of Zhongzhi village, Lansheng Bridge and Xiluoan. The spring quality is carbonic acid and sodium bicarbonate, which are beneficial to skin exfoliation and can boost one’s metabolism. After bathing in the hot spring, the skin becomes tender and white, so the spring has been nicknamed as the "Beauty Spa." Currently, there are many hot spring resorts and high-class hotels in the region of Wulai, and the package tours of hot spring and featured hot spring set meal are available. Whichever season, tourists are attracted to Wulai to enjoy the fun of hot spring bathing. Wulai deserves the reputation of a beautiful hot spring town! After hot spring bathing while the body is still feeling warm, it's recommended to take a stroll along Wulai Old Street to try traditional Atayal cuisine as well as shop for extremely exotic tribal arts and crafts. Wulai, an integration of hot springs, old streets and Atayal culture is the most attractive destination for tourists.
