Yehliu Geopark is one of the most unique natural attractions in Taiwan and definitely worth visiting. The park is famous for its incredible rock formations that were shaped over thousands of years by wind, sea water, and natural erosion. Walking along the coastal pathways feels like exploring an outdoor natural sculpture park. The most iconic formation is the Queen’s Head, which many visitors line up to see and photograph, but there are also many other interesting rocks like the Candle Rocks, and Mushroom Rocks.
Aside from the rock formations, the coastal scenery is beautiful with waves crashing against the shoreline and the open sea. The park is well organized with clear walking paths, making it easy to explore different sections. It can get crowded, especially around the Queen’s Head, so visiting early in the morning is recommended. Overall, Yehliu offers a fascinating mix of geology, scenery, and photography spots that make it a memorable stop when visiting Taiwan.

The Wulai Scenic Train is a short but enjoyable experience when visiting Wulai. The ride is simple, but it offers a nice way to see the surrounding forest and river views without having to walk the whole distance. The train connects the old street area to the Wulai Waterfall, making it both convenient and scenic for visitors.
The ride itself only takes a few minutes, but it adds a fun and relaxing element to the trip. The small train cars and open windows allow you to enjoy the fresh air and greenery along the route. It’s especially nice for families, elderly visitors, or anyone who prefers a more relaxed way to get to the waterfall area.
Tickets are affordable and easy to purchase at the station. While the ride is short, it’s still a charming experience that adds to the overall visit to Wulai. If you’re already exploring Wulai Old Street and heading to the waterfall, taking the scenic train is definitely a fun and convenient option to include in your trip.

Tour was amazing. Tour guide was trying to be very jolly which I appreciate but there really is a language barrier. He’s very accommodating , however very difficult to understand as well. The previous tourist guide who was assigned to the tour bus I took last time was a good English speaker. I hope their tourist guide could improve in speakig/communicating in English. Overall, we enjoyed the entire tour!

The exhibition area isn't large, making it more suitable for kids in second grade or younger. It's less crowded on weekdays, and there are play attendants who help ensure safety, freeing up mom's hands. If you don't need to take close-up photos or videos, you really don't need to buy a parent accompaniment ticket 😂 unless your child is very young and you're worried, then go in and accompany them.

This is my third time visiting Wulai for hot springs! The hot spring rooms at Pause Landis all have interesting themes. This time it's a hot pot theme, making you feel like Tang Sanzang about to be cooked 😆. Soaking in the semi-outdoor hot spring is very comfortable, with a gentle breeze - highly recommended!

We had a great lantern experience in Shifen and booked through Happy Lantern. The photos and videos taken by the staff were amazing, we loved every single one of them. They really knew how to capture the best moments. We also appreciated that they let us be the ones to release the lantern ourselves, which made the experience even more special and meaningful. Highly recommended!

Taiwan can get quite chilly in the winter, and it's so nice to soak in a hot spring when you're traveling and feeling cold. The scenery is beautiful too. They were considerate enough to let us in 10 minutes early because we had kids, and up to two children can enter for free (height restrictions apply).

Wulai Yun Hsien Resort is a peaceful mountain retreat that offers beautiful nature views and a relaxing atmosphere away from the busy city. One of the most unique parts of visiting the resort is the cable car ride to reach it, which gives you stunning views of the surrounding forest and river. The ride itself already feels like part of the experience.
Once you arrive, the resort feels quiet and refreshing, surrounded by greenery, mountain air, and scenic walking paths. It’s a great place to slow down, enjoy nature, and take a break from crowded tourist areas. The area around the lake is especially beautiful and perfect for taking photos or just enjoying the peaceful environment.
There are also activities like paddle boats and small trails to explore, making the visit more enjoyable. Overall, Yun Hsien Resort is a lovely spot if you want a calm and scenic escape while visiting Wulai. It’s not just a resort but also a nature experience that makes the trip memorable.

There are many types of activities and the facilities are particularly fun, such as milking cows, feeding milk, collecting chicken eggs, and a climbing area. The children don't want to leave. Buying tickets on KLOOK is cheaper than buying them on-site and it's convenient to enter. Recommended to buy and play!
