Wulai Visitor Information Center

Wulai is famous for springs and the hill cherry blossoms. As Atayal is the dominant local ethnic group, there are Atayal cultural tokens everywhere in Wulai. Most shops in Wulai Old Street have a strong “indigenous flavor”. Visitors can taste a wide variety of mountain foods in indigenous flavors, such as the charcoal grilled wild boar pork, spring cooked eggs, shell-flower leaf dumplings, rice cooked in bamboo tubes, and dishes made with aromatic litsea. They are rare “Taiwan indigenous specialty foods”. There are also the specialties like the millet wine and millet mochi that are great as souvenirs for friends.

T he Wulai Forestry Museum, which is next to the ticket office of Taiwan Railway and the result of five-year preparation by the Forestry Bureau, opened earlier this year. The museum presents the development of the forestry industry in Wulai and is an ideal destination if you do not have much knowledge about the history of rail carts and the local forestry industry.

The 80-meter-high Wulai Waterfall cascades down from the top of the peaks. The white water bands are completely natural. Its greenish waves often attract tourists to watch the Warriors Square on the opposite side. The Wulai Cable Car, which crosses the Nanshi River by Hot Spring Street, is a charming landmark of Wulai, which sprays upwards. A great location for overlooking the waterfall.
