      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.

      Yingge - Cultural Tour for the Family
      If you don’t want to spend the weekend cooped up at home swiping mobile phones with the kids, come and take a stroll around Yingge! Here’s a fun-filled itinerary for the whole family – start the glorious morning by heading into the hills for the relatively short “Yingge Rock Trail.” As you and your children make your way up the gently sloping stairs, you pass through a relaxing forest and will arrive at Yingge Rock before you know it! According to legend, Koxinga was leading his troops through the region when they were blocked by poisonous miasma. A soldier was also eaten as well. Koxinga ordered his cannons to blow away the neck of Yingge Rock and the miasma was finally dispelled. Yingge Rock is the most famous local sight and gave its name to the town. Climbing a mountain makes people hungry so the next stop is “Yingge Old Street” to check out the specialty ceramic stores and enjoy the local delicacies. We now come to the highlight of the day – “The Shu’s Pottery.” Here you and the kids can try your hand at pottery and DIY ceramics. The experience not only improves children’s hand-eye coordination but also strengthens family bonds. If you still have the energy, go for an evening bicycle ride to admire the sunset at “Sanying Longyao Bridge.” As the night falls, the light sculpture on the bridge comes on and creates a magical atmosphere. The giant clay models scattered throughout the grounds of “SanYing Waterfront” offer a perfect place to take snapshots of precious family time together.
