Wulai Waterfall, Mountain waterfall in Wulai District, Taiwan.
Wulai Waterfall is a mountain waterfall in Wulai District that drops about 80 meters into the valley. During heavy rainfall, the water splits into two distinct streams flowing through the forested ravine below.
The waterfall was recognized as one of Taiwan's eight principal natural landmarks during Japanese rule of the island. This status helped establish it as an important destination for visitors in the early modern period.
The name comes from the Atayal indigenous language and refers to natural hot springs in their tradition. The place sits within Atayal community territory, and you can see how the landscape remains central to their way of life.
You reach the waterfall area using a historic log cart railway that has connected the main station to viewing points since 1963. The journey offers a relaxed ride through the valley with access to several observation platforms along the way.
The site features both a historic log cart railway and a modern aerial gondola system working side by side to reach different viewing areas. This mix of old and new transport methods gives visitors multiple ways to explore and see the waterfall from various angles.
