Attraction Introduction

New Taipei Wulai Yunxian Paradise Wulai is located about 27 kilometers southeast of Taipei City, and it is the only mountainous township in Taipei County. The entire area is covered with lush green trees, clear flowing water, and surrounded by mountains. The source at the top of the famous Wulai Waterfall is even more picturesque with lakes and mountains, ancient towering trees, misty forests, colorful butterflies, cicadas, and birds, just like a paradise. However, due to the cliffs of Nanshi River blocking access, visitors could not fully appreciate this beautiful scenery, which led to the plan to build an aerial cable car. The aerial cable car allows the complete natural landscape to be presented to the public. Because of its natural beauty, the changing seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter each have their own unique beauty, just like a fairyland, hence the name “Yunxian Paradise.”

Wulai Trolley (Closed for maintenance on the first Tuesday of every month) In its early days, the Wulai Trolley was only used for transporting timber. Due to the development of tourism at Wulai Waterfall and the demand from tourists, passenger transport officially began in 1963, with manual pushing of tourists. To cope with the increasing number of tourists, it was mechanized in 1974, using diesel engines to power the trolley. In 1987, despite many difficulties, a tunnel was excavated at the waterfall station to replace the original turntable, and it has been in use ever since. The operating route is from Wulai Station to Waterfall Station, with a total length of about 1.6 kilometers. It operates daily from 8:00 to 17:00, and the operating hours are adjusted during the summer peak season. It departs as soon as passengers arrive to serve travelers. When visiting Wulai Old Street, the trolley is a popular must-visit attraction for both adults and children.

Wulai Forestry Life Museum (Closed on Tuesdays) The Wulai Forestry Life Museum, formerly known as the Wulai Trolley Museum, boasts an exquisite waterfall view and serves as a collection hall to record and present the history and artifacts of the trolley. The museum offers daily actual trolley rides and on-site guided tours, as well as weekend spiritual art activities for relaxation. We look forward to sharing this with friends who love nature and art. (Entering the B3 large terrace of the Forestry Life Museum offers an even more beautiful view of Wulai Waterfall.)

Wulai Waterfall Wulai Waterfall is the waterfall with the largest drop in northern Taiwan. It was listed as one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period and is also known as “Yunlai no Taki.” When there is abundant rainfall, Wulai Waterfall forms two flying streams, cascading down from the valley, showcasing its magnificent beauty. In spring, you can also admire the blooming pink cherry blossoms next to the waterfall, adorning the waterfall forest.

Wulai Old Street “Wulai Old Street” refers to the area around Wulai Street, Waterfall Road, and Huanshan Road. The shop signs are uniformly designed, looking quite neat, and most of the shops feature indigenous characteristics. Therefore, visitors can taste indigenous mountain delicacies, such as charcoal-grilled wild boar, hot spring eggs, shell ginger leaf rice, bamboo tube rice, Makauy dishes, bird’s nest fern, and pearl onions, which are indigenous dishes rarely found elsewhere. In addition, there are also millet wine and millet mochi and other specialties, which are very suitable as souvenirs for friends and relatives. At the same time, you can also watch indigenous song and dance performances and experience the enthusiasm and vitality of the indigenous people.

Wulai Visitor Center After a day of fun, you can also go to the Wulai Visitor Center for an experience. You can visit the visitor center first, which provides travel brochures, introductions, and a place to stamp for souvenirs, deepening your understanding of Wulai. After exiting the door, you can go to the hot spring foot soaking pool on the right to enjoy the experience and relax (visitors are requested to bring their own small towels to wipe their feet).
