A mountainous Atayal aboriginal township south of Taipei in the Xindian River valley, Wulai is known for its hot springs — sodium bicarbonate waters flowing at 70–80 °C — its old street of traditional Taiwanese snacks, and a narrow-gauge logging railway that leads to a waterfall viewpoint. The surrounding ridgeline provides day hikes through subtropical forest rarely accessed by international visitors.
