Oh My! Wulai on a rainy day!


When we went to this place, we didn't know what to expect.
It must be the rainy weather.
It must be the good samaritan who gave us a free raincoat and said “Welcome to Taiwan”.
It must be the delicious dumplings which we ate near Xiandian Station.
But whatever the reason...
Let the pictures guide you on how Wulai quietly charmed us.

Tourist Bridge 
Trivia #1: If your going to Wulai via Bus, This Bridge is your sign that you are already in Wulai because this is where the Bus will drop all its passengers and pick up passengers

Lansheng Bridge
From the Bus station we walked all the way up to the waterfall area and the Gondola Station passing by Lover's Trail.
Waterfalls

Service tram which could be used going to and from to the waterfall area
 Trivia #2: The service Tram above can be used to go up to the waterfall area and gondola station but in our case what we did was to walk up to the waterfall area and gondola station.

                To use the tram going to the waterfall area and gondola station: From Lansheng bridge walk straight upto to the stairs which looks like it is tilted and the cafe's until you reach the Wulai Tourism Service Wagon

Gondola
Lucky for us on the way to Yuanxian Hotel we were the only passenger =)

Trivia: Wulai is known for its hotspring but since we only have a few hours to spare we made use of the time we have.

Direction on how to go to Wulai via train:
STEP 1: From Taipei Main Station alight at Xiandian MRT
STEP 2: From the MRT Station ride a Xiandian Bus Taipei-Wulia Line Bus No. 849.
**going back. Just go to the bus station where you alighted and a bus heading to Xiandian will be there.

Should we have more time we would have loved to try Wulai's Hotspring =) Oh well, the more reason now that we have to go back. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this time. We would also love to see Wulai's cherry Blossom the next time. (*crossfingers)
