Wulai Hot Spring Area
Wulai Hot Spring was discovered in 1903 when a hot spring was discovered in the Nanshi River, and a bath was set up, which started the development of a hot spring hotel. In the lively urban area of ​​Wulai, hot spring restaurants or food cooked in hot springs can be seen everywhere on the street.

Wulai Old Street
Wulai Old Street is full of Aboriginal Atayal style. Mountain cuisine and handicrafts make the old street unique. In the season of hot springs and cherry blossoms, the whole old street will be filled with people, full of the aroma of corn, mountain pork, millet sausage, hot spring eggs, bamboo rice, and other delicacies. In addition, there are cooking ingredients unique to the mountain, such as Passion fruit flowers.
