Street Market
Walking through Wulai’s narrow streets, visitors and tourists would not fail to notice the array of restaurants and food stalls lining both sides of the central road. A mix of Chinese and indigenous cuisines, the culinary treats provide soothing to the hungry travelers and visitors. Street food and other snacks as well as local wines are also available at very affordable prices.

Museums and Religious Structures
Wulai has two museums- the Wulai Atayal Museum and the Wulai Living Forestry Museum. Indigenous Atayals or the Dayan people- as they prefer to be called- are the original inhabitants of Wulai. Before the waves of settlers from mainland China, the Dayan lived in an egalitarian society where decision-making was consensual, where harvests and hunting catch were shared, where people lived in harmony with nature.
The Wulai Atayal Museum presents the Dayan people as they lived centuries ago. It showcases their weaving and hunting practices, facial tattooing, belief systems, and other matters relevant to their culture in the time when there were no foreign settlers.
Meanwhile, the Wulai Living Forestry Museum provides an exhibit of the system of logging and the transportation of timber from up in the mountains through Wulai and to Taipei. With well-detailed graphics, black-and-white photos, and tools from the era of the Japanese colonial rule, it presents the viewers a journey back in time when poor laborers faced extreme physical difficulties to harvest and deliver timber to their Japanese overlords.

Bridges
As the River Nanshi and its tributaries crisscross Wulai, it is but natural that bridges in strategic parts of the village. These bridges not only serve the daily travel needs of locals but also draw in tourists especially those who delight in viewing the emerald waters of the river from dozens of meters above.

Nature
Perhaps the first thing that visitors and tourists in Wulai will notice is the pristine environment surrounding the built-up area where the shops, restaurants, and hot spring facilities are located. The sparklingly emerald Nanshi River which bisects Wulai can never be disregarded by souls weary of cleansing. It is also on the banks of this river where the famed hot springs emanate.
Looking across the valley, visitors will not fail to see the unspoiled beauty of the mountains fully clad in green and blue, signaling the protection of the area from wanton environmental damage. As Wulai sits on rivers flowing to a nearby reservoir which supplies Taipei’s water needs, the government has made the whole area protected.
Indigenous peoples with their homemade guns and bows and arrows consider Wulai as their ancestral domain so they are able to hunt in its well-preserved mountains and forests.

Transportation & Parking
Wulai is about 1-2 hours away from Taipei City, depending on the means of transportation. While travel will be quicker by private car or taxi, buses also play the route leading to the village.
Upon reaching Wulai, tourists can leave their car in a modern parking lot beside the river. The police station is conveniently located nearby.
In the middle of the street market lies the Wulai District Multipurpose Activity Center which is open for public use. Inside are restrooms, water refill station, and outlet for charging.
