Wulai is a mountain resort, 27 kilometers southwest of Taipei. The aborigines first discovered this place of rich soil and striking scenery hundreds of years ago. From Taipei, it is an hour-long drive up into the green hills, along a winding stream and past terraced fields. The resort remained relatively undeveloped until a few years ago. Accent then was on the scenery and aborigine performances. The "new Wulai" has something for everybody. Besides the recreational facilities, there are many good hotels and restaurants serving excellent food. And the scenery remains unspoiled.
Taxis to Wulai will cost the visitor close to US$5. The venturesome will find it easy to catch the No.7 bus at the depot next to the Taipei Railroad Station and the fare is less than US30 cents. The pushcart railroad to Wulai's waterfall is a favorite with visitors. Coming back, the "pushers" ride behind; the journey is downhill and fast. The resort's recreational facilities include fishing, swimming, boating, the aborigine show of singing and dancing, hot springs bathing, a breathtaking cable car ride and trails that take the visitor past semitropical tree sand plants. For overnight stays, hotel rates are low.
